As promised yesterday, here's a list of Dartmouth's all-time NFL football players culled from the Pro Football Reference website (with the team and round listed for players who were drafted). Find the original list HERE
You'll note there are a lot of players from 1920 and '21 and there's a reason for that. Founded in 1920, the American Professional Football Association (APFA) was the first organized professional league. It was rebranded as the National Football League in 1922. The first draft was in 1936.

EXTRA POINT
Just about a month ago I told visitors to this electronic precinct about how we can now power almost all of our house for several days during an outage with electricity drawn from our new Ioniq 5 EV. Given how frequently we lose power, that's a good thing.
I rather expected the new system would undergo a trial by fire a week ago today when rain and a quick, hard freeze slapped a quarter-inch of ice on trees and power lines in these parts. But while a lot of Vermont went dark, this was one time when we did not.
It has always been a fear that the lights – and TV – would go out during the Super Bowl. I found myself thinking last night about how glad I am that we now have EV generator capability with the NCAA Final Four, the Frozen Four – featuring Penn State – and the Masters all in the same week.
