Here's a little love for Christian Uphoff from a Packers "blog". Sigh, points out he comes "from a small school". Sigh, again. But he's the first one listed in a list of 16 potential surprise players. We'll see.

Author mentioned many believed he would get draft ... it would bode rather well if we had yet another undrafted impact player. Noting BJ Bello, Cam Meredith, James Robinson ... now maybe Christian Uphoff ... this adds to our football cred, as well as MVFC. Our guys are more ready than NFL thinks.

If you can play it doesn't matter where you come from, the NFL will find you!

True dat .. but still may not get you drafted as a result.

But the more ISU and MVFC players outperform, the more harder looks our future studs will get. Uphoff making team and getting strong role on special teams early and eventually work his way into secondary or hybrid LB role .. could be another nice notch in ISU football belt.

It can only help our future NFL prospects. Its too bad Ridgeway transferred ... he would have gotten our program so much NFL attention.
