Allen Park — There are plenty of different paths to the NFL, and Detroit Lions' sixth-round draft pick Travis Fulgham certainty took one of the less traveled.

Fulgham wasn't a high school star. In fact, he played just two years at Broad Run High School in Virginia. He wasn't ranked by recruiting services and didn't have any scholarship offers, ultimately enrolling as a walk-on at Old Dominion.

Yes, Old Dominion, a school with only a handful of NFL alumni and none who had ever been selected in the draft.
