What ever happened to Brian Shay?
 

Just curious...

He tried to the whole thing.

Marty...

I'm right here.

Legend.

Last I heard he hooked up with Bernie Pollard.

No, really, he has to be doing something.

:shrug:

Wikipedia?

Works construction in KS.

The college rushing champion is swinging a hammer, interesting.

Think it is the family business (construction), but I could be wrong.

Former rushing champion. Nate Kmic, of Division III Mount Union College, is the NCAA rushing champ currently.

D3?

Doesnt count.

They play the teams like Davenpost School for the Deaf Dumb and Blind.

D1 or bust.

I might give a D2 player credit as long as his team was winning championships but otherwise its D1 or bust.

Shay was D2. So was Danny Woodhead of Chadron State College (currently with the Jets) who was the record holder until Kmic eclipsed him.

You got my curiosity up ... especially since he played at Paola and Emporia State. Saw an article where he played for the Orlando Rage in 2001. Then this:

and the last pp:

The Shays own and operate BodyMaxx Fitness Center in Paola. He also works for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. The couple plan to reside and raise a family in Paola.

He married well ... a doctor's daughter!

Too bad he didn't get a fair shake, the kid had more heart than any player that had tried to be NFL player than I'd seen for a long time. I think he had the potential to be an Ed Podolak type player.
