He played on the Rochester Raiders this year (big deal, I know), but I thought it was pretty cool.

Cottengim gets look
Fairport's Matt Cottengim, who was MVP of the Great Lakes Indoor Football League for the Rochester Raiders, will get a chance to show off his arm for the Buffalo Bills today.
The 6-foot-6 Cottengim will work out for the Bills this morning, Raiders owner Dave McCarthy said.
Cottengim has not signed a contract with the team. The Bills regularly bring in prospects for workouts, team spokesman Scott Berchtold said.
Cottengim threw a GLIFL-best 40 touchdowns and ran for three more.
"This is a real Cinderella story," McCarthy said. "The kid came out of nowhere and now he's getting a look from the Bills. Even if he can get to a practice squad or NFL Europe it would be a helluva story."
Cottengim started the season as Rochester's No. 2 quarterback but filled in for Omar Baker after he broke his jaw against Port Huron in the second game of the season.
"We didn't know what we had," McCarthy admits. "He's got a cannon for an arm and he's only 23. All he needed was a chance to play."
He also threw balls to my brother during HS, who is on the DIII honorable mention preseason all-american team. SUNY Brockport TE Mike Bond
