NFL, CFL, UFL, EFL and others to impress with good pro-day numbers.
Why not encourage NESCAC players to go to any pro day they can? They have the rest of their lives to go pro at Microsoft Office and only now to try to play pro-football?

Congratulations to all the players including the 3 NESCAC Players who made Walter Camp's first ever Div. 3 All-American Team.

Does Williams have a sports information department?
Does Williams disdain athletes and/or football players?
A poster to this blog shared the phenomenal news that Tim Forth received an invite to the East West Shrine Game.
In 100 years it appears only one other NESCAC player received such an invite before this year. I believe a Trinity player got an invite in 1955. This year two NESCAC players earned an invite and Williams' Athletic Department apparently wants to keep this a secret.  Way to go Tim!!!

I think some posters bring up good points in assessing all time greats for NESCAC DL. I agree that in assessing sacks one should consider total number of pass plays during seasons when decades are different. 
I also agree that taking into consideration of missing last quarters of games due to backups coming in should be weighed.  Also, more recent DL generally play fewer plays than DL from years ago because many teams rotate two or more DL groups in and out during games now. In the old days DLs did not rotate much and starters played entire games. But if current DL are facing offenses that pass more than they used to, but are rotating with other DL, maybe that balances out the number of pass rush opportunities? Hmmm, what about QB pressures? Multiple pressures can be more disruptive or effective than a single sack. Even a single pressure, if it leads to an interception, can be more valuable than a single sack. What about total tackles? Playing great v the run game should not be ignored and is not solely determined by TFLs?

4.9 points per game over 3 years and 7 ppg over 4 years is NUTS!!!

So far:
East West Shrine:  NESCAC 2 Ivy 0
Senior Bowl:  NESCAC 0  Ivy 0
Maybe, for at least this year if these end up being the final numbers, we should refer to the Ivy League as the "Little NESCAC"

Six from the NESCAC.  It looks like the most NESCAC players on the team in the last 5 years.  They post only 5 years on their site.
