POWERFUL: Former 6-foot-8 BYU standout Eli Herring REFUSED to play in the #NFL because he would not work on Sundays due to his religious beliefs.
Before the draft, Herring told teams not to select him, making it clear he would not play because of his beliefs surrounding the Sabbath.
The #Raiders still drafted him in the 6th round, but Herring stayed true to his faith and never played a single snap in the NFL.
Herring says he has no regrets, despite believing he had the talent to become one of the league’s best.
Eli is now married with seven children and works as a school teacher and assistant football coach in Utah.
Even with everything that happened, this season of @BYUMBB will be one of my favorites of all time. Being at the Clemson come back game in person is easily my favorite live experience I have had as a fan.
@BYUMBB some new additions to the man cave (Marriott Center bench, Piece of the Marriott Center floor, BYU projector, signed Egor Demin jersey, and pop tart bowl helmet).
BYU fans complaining…. Our issue today is not making shots. Effort is great today, defense is solid, and getting open looks.
I’ll take this 10/10 times.
