Central Catholic Grad

What a great guy Marc Bulger is! Marc Bulger is now the back-up quarterback to Joe Flacco for the Baltimore Ravens. I remember his high school days at Pittsburgh Central Catholic when he was a thin 6'2"/170 on the Rise QB that had a live arm and threw with tremendous accuracy for the Central Catholic Vikings. He accepted a scholarship to play for the Mountaineers of West Virginia, built up his body to 215 pounds, and had an admirable career for WVU. He was a sixth round selection in the 2000 NFL draft at pick number 168 to the New Orleans Saints. The Steelers chose late in the fifth round a QB named Tee Martin from Tennessee just 5 picks ahead of Bulger. Later in that same draft New England chose in the sixth round a guy named Tom Brady from Michigan at pick number 186. Getting back to Marc Bulger, I have known him for numerous years. While playing at WVU, Marc came and worked my football camp in the Spring for a few years and did an excellent job working with the quarterbacks. Bulger is a very hard worker, is a very positive guy, enjoys playing the game, and is pleasant to be around. He comes from an excellent athletic family. His father Jim played QB at Notre Dame. Marc Bulger holds an NFL record that many fans are not aware of. The record is that no other QB in the NFL had 1000 completions faster than Marc Bulger during his playing days at St. Louis. He did this in 45 games. Marc is another in the long lines of QB's that have come out of this Western PA region and have had success in college and the NFL.
