    As for Ben, he would have been a great fit for the NFL Europe scene. A player that doesn't have the measureables, but still finds a way to produce. A year or two of seeing him play on a bigger stage would have helped him, if he wanted to pursue that route.

    Boothby and Josh Mahoney need setup shop next door to one another.
    NFL Europe???

    Pretty sure that league was dismantled in about 2007.

    He could try CFL...or the UFL.

      Thats why I said "would have been". NFL Europe - RIP my summer football fix.

        bump.... While we may have one or two get a call, as expected, Boothby won't be an option.

          Good choice Ben. The lifetime earnings of an MD will exceed those of a marginal NFL player. Heck, depending on the specialty, an MD can out earn a 1st round pick.
