Preston Dennard for Kevin Greene

August 01, 2023 12:20PM
Last Add on the trivia question from the other day.

Preston Dennard was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Rams in May of 1978...We'll place it the Don Klosterman column...
Dennard wasn't supposed to be anything more than a special teamer...but he turned into a very reliable receiver from 1979 through 1983...

Dealt for a fifth round pick to the Bills in 1984...The Rams used that pick to take Kevin Greene in 1985 (5/113/1985-Auburn)...

This is the kind of thing that gives me a nerd spasm... An undrafted free agent becomes a key piece to your team and then is dealt for a pick that turns into a Hall of Famer...

This--to me--is why every UDFA and preseason game counts...you'll never know what can come from a simple signature by a player hoping to stay in the game...just a little bit longer.

  It still bums me that Greene passed away and could not be a part of today's Rams.
