Sav of the Day

Mark Herzlich




There’s not a bigger sav in this draft class than linebacker Mark Herzlich. He may not have the name recognition of the Cam Newton’s of the world, but he has the most amazing story. He started his first few years at Boston College as one of the most promising players in the nation, being named an All-American and the ACC Defensive Player of the Year. Then in 2009 he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Like the sav he is he continued his workouts throughout the chemo, and was announced as cancer-free. Though he sat out the entire year, he came back strong in 2010. Draft prospects still relish in his talents, and he’s expected to be a mid-round pick this year, possibly going as high as the second round. Herzlich’s an inspiration to us all, and the fact that he’s a beast makes him a guy all NFL fans want on their team.
