When the Miami Dolphins selected linebacker Quentin Poling in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL draft, most Dolphins fans didn’t know who he was. And that’s okay, because he’s kind of used to that.
Coming from a town so small it only has one intersection, Poling jokes that that it’s a settlement, not big enough to be called a village. And he’s not even the most famous person to come from Gomer, Ohio, population 102, because a baseball player named Ed Sandy holds that distinction, having played Major League Baseball and rumored to have once struck out Babe Ruth.
