Austin Droogsma did not play college football

have never attended an NFL game, and my first NFL game could be as a player,”
Droogsma, a former Florida State shot putter, told the . “How weird is that?
It’s really crazy to think I am in a position that some of these guys have
worked their entire lives for.”The Giants think Droogsma has the athletic
profile to be a guard in the NFL

looked good enough in rookie minicamp that they signed him to the 90-man
roster.The 6-foot-4, 345-pound Droogsma played high school football and was good
enough that he got some scholarship offers, but he got more scholarship offers
in track and field and decided to focus on that in college.“It’s fun that I get
to play football again,” Droogsma said. “Not many people have the opportunity I
have been given. It’s intriguing.scary. It’s probably every descriptive word you
can think of. I am still trying to figure out why they called me.”Realistically,
Droogsma’s best-case scenario is probably to make the practice squad

seen San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens play against his team twice in
the last three weeks.Mullens led the 49ers to a 26-23 overtime win over Seattle
on Sunday, snapping a streak of 10 straight victories by Seattle that began with
the NFC Championship game victory in January 2013. That performance following a
400-yard passing day against the Seahawks just two weeks before.The two
performances have left Carroll impressed by the man who began the year as the
49ers’ third-string quarterback“He’s good. He’s a good player,” Carroll said on
Monday. “Twice in the last three or four weeks with the guy… he’s a really good
football player. We hit him, we chased him, he’s accurate
Shareef Miller Jersey , he’s poised, his arm’s plenty good enough, accuracy was there and I thought he’s just good. They’re fortunate to have a guy come out
of the depth chart there to come out and play like that. He’s a good ball
player.”Mullens completed 20 of 29 passes for 275 yards and a touchdown for the
49ers. This comes two weeks after Mullen completed 30 of 48 passes for 414 yards
and two touchdowns with an interception in his first meeting with the Seahawks.
It was just the 12th team Seattle allowed an opposing quarterback to throw for
400 yards in franchise history.Mullens is helped the 49ers win three games in
the last six weeks, including two straight against Denver and Seattle. He’s
played well routinely during his six starts and has shown the 49ers they at
least have a competent backup for the future behind Jimmy Garoppolo.
