Getting your player ready...
An Ivy Leaguer and the Oakland Raiders? It just doesn’t feel right. Something clearly must have gone awry. Yet when the Raiders announced their 53-man roster, there was Desmond Bryant, a defensive lineman from Harvard, proving there’s something to be said for the theory that opposites attract. The undrafted player has heard the jokes from his teammates about being too smart for the NFL (Raiders). “The obvious stereotype is being smart,” he said. “When I don’t come in and know the periodic table, guys make fun of me for not being as smart as I’m supposed to be.” Denver Post wire services/AP photo
