Football: Crummey Set to Make NFL Europe Debut
Rhein, Germany -- Former YSU All-America offensive
tackle Pat Crummey is set to make
his debut in NFL Europe as a member
of the Rhein Fire on April 13
against Amsterdam.
Crummey, who was an All-American at YSU in 2001, was
allocated to the league by the New
York Giants. He spent the 2002
season on the Giants' practice
squad.
A native of Van Wert, Ohio, Crummey played at YSU from
1998-2001. He began his career on
the defensive side of the football
before moving over to offense prior
to his sophomore year. He started
every game his final three years for
the Penguins and was a two-time
first-team Gateway Football
Conference selection and two-time
YSU Jim Zdelar Offensive Lineman of
the Year.
Former Penguin Tim Johnson was a linebacker for the Rhein
Fire last season as the team
qualified for the World Bowl.
Crummey is the third Penguin to
participate in the NFL Europe
joining Johnson and Matt Hogg, who
played for Barcelona.
The Fire will appear on television twice in the United States
this spring. The April 20 game
against Scotland will be aired on
Fox Sports Net while the May 25 game
against Berlin will be carried by
Fox. The 11th World Bowl will be on
June 14 in Glascow, Scotland. |
