Awesome and good for him! I was hoping he'd be drafted earlier but he's going to a great team that values offensive lineman! Congrats Mr. Herman!!

He might have been close to being a Brown. Two picks later they chose a guard from Chadron St.

I think this firmly establishes Ohio as the OL pipeline to the NY Giants. (beginning with Art Lewis in '36 of course).

From the NY Daily News (couldn't find anything from the Times):

Eric Herman -- 7th round (225th overall)

College: Ohio

Position: Guard

Ht: 6-4 Wt: 320

What you should know: A tackle at Ohio, lack of foot speed likely makes him a guard in the NFL. An adept run-blocker, paving way for a team that rushed for 203.3 yards per game.

What they’re saying: “Just a tough, nasty brawler, as a guard. This guy is physical. He likes contact. He plays hard.” — Marc Ross

With Herman drafted, if the Bobcatattack.com archives had not been lost, now would be an interesting time to go back and read his original recruiting thread. I still remember that when he was recruited, someone got on and posted how Ohio had made a major mistake, and Herman was not that good, and that Ohio should have taken some other person. I have a hunch that the "other person" never even made it to Division I.

Congratulations to Eric for a great career at Ohio, and here's wishing him a great career in the NFL to follow.

I spoke with Herman on campus a few times. He said that before committing to Ohio, he was being recruited by Michigan. He developed an injury and they dropped him, thus he came here. He was a great get, needless to say.

You know what Frank Solich likes most about coaching in the MAC? While he gets older, his coaching competition stays the same age, man.

That seems to be the way with most of the really good players in non-AQ conferences. The AQ schools find some flaw they're not willing to take a chance on -- height, speed, injury, size, whatever -- and the player comes to a non-AQ and excels because the coaching staff is willing to work with him and develop him. DJ's a great example of that on the b-ball side. Thanks, Michigan, for being so narrow-minded.

Love this quote in the NY Post:

Guard Eric Herman, a seventh-round pick from Ohio, was credited in college with 128 “pancake’’ blocks as a senior.

Asked how to define a pancake block, Herman said, “You take your opponent to the ground ... unwillingly.’’

I always enjoy seeing comments praising Herman but qualifying his accomplishments by pointing out that he didn't play for a "big time" program. As if the #1 overall pick in the draft wasn't a lineman from the exact same conference.
