Friend of Worrilow’s: Gradkowski, a University of Delaware alumnus, played in college with fellow Blue Hen/current Falcon Paul Worrilow. Together, they won the Colonial Athletic Association championship in 2010 by posting a 12-3 record. They also reached the FCS championship that year but fell to Eastern Washington, 20-19. Now reunited in Atlanta, the two are bound to face each other regularly during practice.
Promising Draft Pick: Gradkowski’s success at UD, where he started 26 games, convinced Baltimore to draft him in the fourth round (98th overall) in 2012. During his junior campaign, he helped propel Delaware to the second-best total offense in the CAA.
