Three Mormons Left in NFL Playoffs
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- With the NFL down to four teams, just three
Mormon players are left in the NFL playoff games. Edwin Mulitalo of
the Baltimore Ravens, Junior Ioane of the Oakland Raiders and David
Dixon of the Minnesota Vikings all have a shot at going to the Super
Bowl if their teams win this coming Sunday.
This past week saw the elimination of LDS Coach Andy Reid's
Philadelphia Eagles, and their Pro Bowl wide receiver, LDS player
Chad Lewis, as well as Byron Frisch (Tennessee Titans) and Kyle
Turley (New Orleans Saints).
Meanwhile, Mormon News subscriber Brent Romney told us about another
NBA player, Scott Pollard, who is LDS. Pollard, a BYU alumnus, plays
for the Sacramento Kings. But of the four Mormon NBA players, veteran
Shawn Bradley still gets the most playing time.
