Anyways, this guy was actually a pretty solid football player and had a decent career. Definitely remember the 2-way thing and thought he was drafted as an OL. Pretty sure he came in around the same time as TIGHT END Jason Peters, so maybe I'm mis-remembering. I'm NEVER shocked when something like this goes down because I don't know these guys personally. I know what their bio says and how they interact with the media. For the most part, as fans, we really have very little idea as to what type of a person a particular player actually is IRL. Hope the woman's OK obviously. Not a good story. I do have a type, hard working underdogs that most people think of as an afterthought. Schobel was the other player on that D that was amazing. 1

Schobel was the other player on that D that was amazing. My favorite defensive players from that era were Schobel, Tim Anderson, Chris Kelsay, Poz, Leonhard, and Tim Euhus even though he was a tight end. On a serious note, Schobel was nothing like your description of on ideal player. Aaron was not some overachieving underdog; he was a very talented, athletic end. Again, very sad story.

The Pats had Hernandez but I guess we're still top with OJ - he got away with it (ironically such a Pats thing to do) OJ did all that stuff after his playing days in Buffalo. While he was here I don’t think he was a head case.

I wasn't saying he didn't work hard or earn respect around the league. I'm saying he didn't fit the stereotype of a tenacious OVERACHIEVER. It was a side convo with some nuance, but the point was that Schobel was born with some legit athletic gifts. He wasn't Rudy. 1 1

I totally agree with you...Schobel had a natural talent for what he did. It has been awhile, but I do not remember him being labled as an overachiever to any large extent. I know that he worked hard...it showed in his play...just watching him. 1
RaoulDuke79 Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 I'll just remember him as a former Raven.
