Here’s a little blurb about Leckey from K-State’s website, which talks about how he went back to school after his NFL career to get his degree.  Nick is currently in sales for Boston Scientific in the Kansas City area.

Defensive back Rashad Washington was drafted 7th round, number 236 overall, by the New York Jets.  He played four seasons for the Jets, playing in 47 games.  His career stats are below:

That’s it for 2004.  Up next:  2005!
