Division III Football Player Uses YouTube to Get Drafted by NFL Team

Andy Studebaker had a couple of fairly big things working against him in the weeks leading up to last month's NFL draft. One was his football background. He played at Division III Wheaton (Ill.) College, which is a great place to get an Ivy League-caliber education, but not such a great place to prep for a career in football. The last time an NFL team took a player from Wheaton in the draft was 1957 (Fred Brock, Washington Redskins, 17th round). To make matters worse, Studebaker, who surfaced on the NFL's radar as a junior after recording 17 1/2 sacks and 25 1/2 tackles for losses, missed the second half of his senior season at Wheaton with a Lisfranc fracture in his right foot. But thanks to the efforts of his forward-thinking agent, Josh Wright, and a spectacular Pro Day workout just 8 days before the draft, the 6-3, 251-pound defensive end/linebacker vaulted back into the NFL's consciousness and was selected by the Eagles in the sixth round with the 203rd overall pick last month. With Studebaker unable to go to the NFL Scouting Combine in late February because he still was recovering from surgery on his foot, Wright, whose wife Carol is an Emmy Award-winning television producer, turned to YouTube to keep his client in NFL teams' thoughts. The Wrights put several videos of Studebaker on YouTube, including a personal profile and various highlight videos of his dominating play before the injury.
