Former RI high school and Boston College standout Jamie Silva has made the Indanapolis Colts. After being not drafted at all in the NFL draft this past April it seemed as if he was a long shot to make any club. They said he was too small, too slow, too ect. The same thing people said when he was coming out of East Providence High School where Boston College almost passed on him and Indiana was the only other DI school to give him a scholarship.
Reports were that Silva was always around the ball in preseason practice and games as we have seen him in the past HS and College. Congrats to Jamie Silva on being another sucessful player to come out of the Rhode Island High School ranks.
Another RI High School standout, Matt Sherry, has been placed on season ending injury reserve. Sherry missed the last three games with a shoulder injury. Reports from Bengals camp was that Sherry was impressive in blocking and in the passing game. Sherry remains eligible for the practice squad for two years after this also.
Its good to see Rhode Island athletes suceeding in the pro's. On Sundays Ill keep my eye on the Packers with Blackmon and Colts with Silva all season long.
