As a left tackle for Bucknell, Paulsboro native Julién Davenport did not play future NFL players most weekends. But in his first game as a freshman, he blocked a defensive end, Marist's Terrence Fede, who was drafted months later and remains in the NFL after three seasons.
Davenport might block him next year when he's selected in the NFL draft this week, and that day in freshman year was when Davenport realized he could be playing on Sundays even though Bucknell has not sent a draft pick to the NFL since 1969.
"From then on, I knew I could easily play in the NFL," Davenport said.
