Congratulations Andy!

[GrowlingTiger87]

Way to go, Andy! We are very proud of you. Something tells me that we'll be seeing a lot of Saints gear around Tigertown.

Massillon truly is proud of Tigertown's next great pro!

I see potential Pro Bowls in his future with Reggie Bush playing behind him!

What year did he go to Massillon and what pistion did he play.

[DAWGH8R]

I believe that Andy played on the VASTLY TALENTED '02 team, that was one of the best Tiger teams in recent history. A great story, because Andy arrived at Massillon, by CHOICE, via NC Hoover. Andy wanted to play the best competition in D1 football, and he did.

Andy is a true success story for youngsters. It proves that hard work, no matter the circumstances can pay of with the ULTIMATE reward !!

Didn't he graduate in 02?

AND for what it's worth, he was drafted ahead of last year's Heisman Trophy winner.

Andy is winner.

Congrats to Andy.

Andy is a workout warrior who will be a good fit at NO and willl have a solid NFL career IMO. The Saints drafted 2 Ohio kids the 2nd being Antonio Pittman. Both will have a chance at some playing time with Duece Mccallister being injury prone the last few seasons but altogether both gentleman have been drafted by a class organization and will contribute to the team.

If McCallister stays healthy Andy could be blocking for one of the best backfield combinations in the NFL--- Duece, Bush, and Pittman.

Andy is winner.

How many players were drafted ahead of Joe Montana? Tom Brady? I'm notu sure WHAT you were thinking making THAT statement.

[TigerNick]

Congrats out to Andy. Way to go.

How many players were drafted ahead of Joe Montana? Tom Brady? I'm notu sure WHAT you were thinking making THAT statement.

first: there was a typo, as in "Andy is winner" should have been "Andy is a winner.'' I can see how that would be read differently.

Would an asterisks between the first and second stmt do?
One stmt is independent of the other. Alleman is a winner regardless where he was drafted.

I think the first stmt stands by itself, in "THAT," for what it's worth, it speaks for itself - don't you? I could care less about Montana or Brady or whomever - it's a pretty darn good accomplishment - don't ya think? I think it says a lot to be drafted ahead of a near unanimous Heisman winner, whom I think in his own right will do quite well in the NFL someday too.

[MTigers006]

I agree Chumly. Heres hoping we see Andy in a beige blazer in Canton someday. He will be his own legend.
