    Tell us something….

    I threw TD passes to Benet's Pat New in youth football. Dude was the fastest player in our league and it wasn't even close.

    Big hire at Rolling Meadows

    On the flip side, it's an opportunity for those assistants to learn from an NFL guy, even demonstrate their coaching chops to an NFL guy, and broaden their coaching network.
