Brock Huard deserves a pat on the back. I was attending the U.W. when Brock was throwing touchdowns and breaking Husky quarterback records. He is the career leader in U.W. passing yards (5,742), touchdown passes (51), 300 + yard passing games, attempts without an interception (151), and many other categories.
He had a promising career in the NFL coming out of college. Brock wasn't going to be a superstar or one of the top quarterbacks in the league, but people thought he could at least fight for a starting position somewhere into his NFL career.
After being drafted by the Hawks with the 77th pick of the 99 draft, Brock went into a back up role to learn the offense and get used to the speed of the NFL game. But after a few years in the NFL with very few starts, Brock was out of professional football.
Out of nowhere Brock Huard is back on the scene, but he's not wearing a uniform. He's had a career change from NFL backup Quarterback to successful ESPN analyst and radio talk show newcomer.
The funny thing is Brock is surprisingly good. He covered the 09 NFL draft for Espn and shows up on sportscenter giving NFL and college analysis. I enjoy listening to his radio show Brock and Salk, where it's a good mix of humor and sports knowledge.
So is Brock better wearing a suit in the press box than he was wearing a Husky uniform. Only the future will tell, but it looks bright thus far. That is if he doesn't follow in Mark Schlereth's footsteps and do a camio on soap opera's Guiding Light. Glad that wasn't career suicide Mark!
