In the late 1980s the Pitt Steelers drafted a college wrestler named Carlton Haselrig in the 11th round of the draft.
The guy was a project, but his wrestling fundamentals translated well to being an offensive lineman and about 4-5 years into his football career he actually made the pro bowl. He then developed mental problems which sadly wrecked both his football career and his life.
This guy is only 26, and may well be worth taking a chance on.

he's a local wrestling hero from his heavyweight days at the U.
the U had best hang on to the coach,but he's not popular among the PC crowd that run the U.
(he's an outspoken critic of title 9)
