Good morning everyone. As you know last night didn’t exactly
go as planned, but I have great news for you…It’s Sunday! All right, so it
doesn’t necessarily make up for the debacle that was the Navy game, however it
does mean that the other type of football, no not soccer, the NFL kicks off in
earnest today. Sure there was the Peyton Manning (or
was it John Elway?!…Come on Columbus!) tossing 7 touchdown passes against
the defending champion Baltimore Ravens. Today however, marks the first day
that allows you tit sit in front of the TV for back-to-back days and completely
ignore the rest of your life for football.
I decided to look on the bright side this morning and look
at all the talented former Hoosiers who are now playing their football on
Sundays. While Indiana doesn’t have quite the numbers in the pros as many other
programs, especially in the Big Ten there are still a solid group representing
the Crimson and Crème. Here is a list that can help if you are looking for
someone else to watch and cheer for today in addition to your team, or maybe
there’s even a player you didn’t even realize was on your favorite squad. Here
are the five guys, really just four due to injury, to be looking out for on
Sundays this season.
