German Football Player

Sadly, Herr Graff has to fake most of his knowledge about American Football, including about the local Eagles and Patriots.  And he'd lying if he said he was disappointed about the lack of "wear your Eagles memorabilia"-days at school over the past two years. 

BUT: That doesn't mean I can't be excited for all of you who are really into American Football, and just pray that you all don't get bad concussions!

I just read about a German guy who came over here a few years ago, with little English under his belt, just to play American Football.  Bjoern Werner now attends Florida State, and is apparently a possible Top-10 Draft Pick in this year's draft.  See this article from CBS Sports about Bjoern Werner:
