Greg Bell story

Spring of 84, Greg Bell was sitting in on our Sports (99%) and Entertainment(1%) law class in the Law School when an NFL agent was speaking. Tony Hunter's agent was in and had just lined up a contract making Tony the 2nd highest paid tight end in the NFL. Greg inquired about what the agent thought a 3rd or 4th round draft pick would receive money wise that year. Given his limited playing time at ND, that seemed like an appropriate question. Remarkably, in the draft, Greg goes in the first round to Buffalo, and if I remember correctly rushed for over 1,000 yards as a rookie. That was probably more yards than his entire ND career in four years.
