Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 At 5-11, 220 pounds and 34 years of age, he is the longest of long shots. But unfavorable odds typically don't deter men who have served with the Green Berets, and Boyer's beaten them before. After serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, he decided at age 29 that he better attend college, fearing he never would otherwise. In the process of matriculating at the University of Texas, Boyer also walked onto the football team even though he'd never played a competitive down in his life. "I didn't want to regret never playing, and I'd never had the opportunity," Boyer told USA TODAY Sports. "It was always my favorite sport to watch." http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/draft/2015/05/01/nate-boyer-green-beret-texas-long-snapper/26694629/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Saw an interview on the NFL Network Saturday with him. What a story. Will be rooting for him to make the Seahawk's roster, if not hopefully he can land a team that can use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
