INDIANAPOLIS – It’s no real surprise that Joe Haeg has found himself gravitating towards veteran Joe Reitz early in his NFL career.
In an NFL world where players migrate from all sorts of backgrounds, Reitz’s path is extremely unique.
But Haeg can somewhat relate.
Reitz didn’t play college football. His post-college life saw him put on around 60 pounds to pursue an NFL dream.
While Haeg did play college football, the only reason he got that chance came from putting on some serious mass.
Haeg was a 230-pound walk-on at North Dakota State.
