Nearly all of Bernhard Raimann’s family hasn’t seen him play since he was a Vienna Viking, and 18 people will be in Frankfurt.
But this story is bigger than that. Raimann’s the first Austrian ever drafted, proof there’s a path that once seemed impossible. https://t.co/hNJoQvyhCr

Good luck @BernhardRaimann So proud of you. @ViennaVikings @MTPLEASANTMICH1
Knocking out a double-major in actuarial science and stats, while putting on 90 lbs for a transition to left tackle somehow are some of the more believable parts to #Colts rookie Bernhard Raimann’s story.

.@CMU_Football OT Bernhard Raimann fell in love with football as teenager growing up in Austria.
“I started watching football movies. At that point I thought, ‘high school football, Friday Night Lights. That sounds awesome.’”
Now he’s @MoveTheSticks’ No. 28 prospect in draft.
The best pair of bookend tackles in the 2022 NFL draft reside in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. Great stuff here in a side-by-side interview talking about their transitions from TE to OT, Raimann's experience growing up in Austria, and Goedeke's jump from Division III to FBS.
