Met Ex-Super Bowl Champ, Diyral Briggs Yesterday

Don't feel alone if name is not familiar to you. I only met him yesterday but not every day one runs into member of World Champs in any sport.

Was walking into my bank to verify balance after returning home for summer and  upcoming football season. While getting the balance, I heard this man next to me say, "Yeah, played in one Super Bowl, would like to get back in the league to try for another." Well, of course this drew my attention and I looked over and he certainly looked the part. Was guessing if defense, had to be a lber (that's what he was) and if offense a real big RB.

Spoke for awhile outside the bank and he is an extremely nice young man. Almost military in his respect, "Yes Sir, No Sir, Thank you Sir, etc."  Asked him about the Super Bowl comment I heard inside the bank, and he said, "Yes Sir, was with the Packers."  He currently lives in Lansing, so guessing either he or wife has family in town(Muskegon).  Said he played with Terrance Taylor. I couldn't fit those two together, but I guess "fringe" players are going to cross paths at some point, probably trying out for a team or two.

Googling the name once I returned home, realized he was a very lucky young man.  Seems as though he only played one season in the league. Was signed by the 49ers, got cut after 5 games, later picked up by the Broncos. Got cut in Oct, picked up by Super Bowl champs a day later and finished the run with them. Was cut the following Aug. If you're going to spend one season in the NFL, why not do it as world champs?

From Cincinnati, he played for Hoke- prior to BH taking SDSU job- at BGSU where he was two time All MAC. Looks like he could still suit up today. Like I said, extremely nice, extroverted young man with genuine smile. Bowling Green should be proud of this one.
