Super Sunday

Happy Super Bowl Day ;-)


Harvey Frommer, who does some teaching at Dartmouth, has a new book When It Was Just A Game: Remembering The First Super Bowl.
With a handful of graduating Dartmouth seniors having NFL dreams one site I came across has a Dartmouth player pegged for one of today's Super Bowl teams.

That would be DraftSite, which sees the Denver Broncos using their sixth-round selection to choose Dartmouth defensive tackle AJ Zuttah with the 219th overall pick. (LINK) It's as speculative as speculative can be, but on this Sunday it's fun stuff.
Speaking of the draft, another site called Pro Player Insiders posted its NFL Draft Small School Position Rankings prior to last season. Here are Ivy League players mentioned by school. Where they make the top rankings their rank is listed. Otherwise they are the "Others to watch."

DARTMOUTH
No. 5 DT AJ Zuttah
QB Dalyn Williams

(Notably missing is Cody Fulleton, who is deserving of being on the list.)
