    I wonder how many guys go from rookie minicamp to the 53 man roster their rookie season? I bet the number has to be incredibly small (like <1%). It's rare enough for a minicamp guy to get offered a contract much less make the active roster in his first year.

    Beyond the 7-10 drafted rookies teams will usually sign 10+ undrafted guys to contacts that all start higher on the totem pole than the minicamp guys. None of that includes all the holdovers from the previous year fighting to retain their roster spot.

    If it works out for him to someday be on the 53 you know we'll hear all about him every time he makes a big catch(even a decent one) simply because of who is throwing him the ball. In short I feel like NDSU will get a lot of pub simply because his one degree of separation from Aaron Rodgers. And as a Vikings fan I now want to puke.

    Tired of seeing ignorant writers refer to NDSU as a "small" school. This one goes so far as to call NDSU a "small FCS" school. And later in the article there is a reference to NDSU being FCS champions like it was done once, and then again have to cut us down with a comment about it's a good, but "smaller program". WTF?

    C'mon... Are you a Bison fan first? Or a Vikings fan first? If it's the latter... you're not a TRUE Bison fan anyway. Get off this board!

    You're kidding, right? Is NDSU not a "small school" when it comes to football? NDSU may be a big fish in a smaller pond, but they still swim in a smaller pond. Regardless of enrollment, etc., they are still objectively a "small school" when defined by FCS vs FBS. Doesn't matter much anyway. People that need to know... know. Those that don't matter... who cares!

    Whatever it takes for them to keep saying NDSU when talking about former Bison players is ok with me.

    There's a lot of ignorant people out there. Just got to deal with them. Heard Kevin Harlan on the broadcast say NDSU won 3 national titles.......

    May be some of our fans should stop referring to us as D2???? May be that would help?????

    Seriously---you cant keep calling the school, its administration and its fans D2 thinkers and then get pissed when NDSU isnt mentioned in the same breath with FBS schools.

    The fact remains were are a FCS school. We are a smaller school compared to the FBS schools.

    If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    It's a medium sized school then? JFC.

    It's 4th in the MVFC in enrollment. It's only slightly larger than St. Cloud State which is DII and UW Oshkosh which is DIII.

    It's not Minnesota, Iowa, or Wisconsin.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
