Randy Hedberg

Wentz, Stick, Lance, and Miller... not a bad run.

Randy Hedberg, legend. That is all.

I remember when he played for the Buccaneers in 1977. It was about the time I started following NFL football, and I lived in Minot, so he was big news. He was the head coach at MSU through my middle school and high school days. My mom taught at Minot State, so we went to a few games. I got a chance to visit with him when I worked the 2014 Spring game. He had just been hired. Great career, and a championship was a great way to wrap it up.

Randy Hedberg and Chuck Rodgers (former Ramstad, Minot Ryan and NDSU player) were both drafted by Tampa Bay in 1977, Randy in the 8th round and Chuck in the 11th.

I remember him during his stint with Tampa Bay. I believe he started a few games for the Bucs. I recall reading a newspaper article about Hedberg's first start. The headline read, "Why not Minot".

Laqua I feel like also makes a ton of sense here.

ND native, former player and coach, has recruited ND well in the past. Has done a pretty good job making the dragons relevant in the tough NSIC.

It was only Tampa Bay's second year in the league and they didn't win a game their first year.

The offensive line was bad and they gave up a record number of sacks.

Randy was the 4th string quarterback, in camp, but the first two quarterbacks got injured and Randy beat out Parnell Dickinson for the starting job.

We’ll miss randy a lot. I hope he enjoys retirement!

Can any other program say theyve had 4 Champion QBs in the NFL at the same time?

Currently NDSU, Alabama and Oregon have 3 active NFL QBs with a draft prospect that should be on a roster next year, there are 5 or so other schools at 3 currently as well but they do not have not a Draft or UDFA prospect for the upcoming year.

That's a blast from the past, my aunt was dating Chuck when I was a kid when he was drafted, I still have a letter from him he wrote me on team letterhead.
