Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

I highly suggest anyone who gets a chance to see this take advantage of that opportunity. Nick had a full life as a player, an attorney as well as a television broadcaster. The end wasn't kind to Nick. But it seemed he kept his head up through it all. The Many Lives of Nick Buoniconti Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach. #gmstrong

Do today's players even finish college? I think it's either rare or non existent. Buoniconti not only got his bachelor's from Notre Dame, but got his law degree while he was playing. His son's injury was a heart-breaker. (Buoniconti's son broke his neck making a tackle while at The Citadel and was left a quadriplegic in 1985) As the twentieth century fades away.

His gf lived in the dorm next to me and we were decent friends. She was devastated. Nick was actually the one who talked her out of dropping out. yebat' Putin

He was the leader of the No Name Defense that went undefeated and won back-to-back Super Bowls. He was also pretty good on TV and his efforts to fight paralysis after his son Mark was paralyzed was a noble and monumental accomplishment. And damn, I'm getting old.
