ASU's Roman hoping to take his linebacker skills to the NFL
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2009 7:08 pm
Jacque Roman enjoys music, just not moving it.
He'll take offensive backs and linemen over a piano any day.
"They're easier to deal with," said Roman, who found himself out of football and stuck in the furniture-moving business five years ago.
Roman was a highly recruited linebacker out of Camden County High School in Kingsland, Ga., when his future took an unexpected turn. He had committed to Auburn during his junior season but changed his mind.
"I had always wanted to be a linebacker at Miami," Roman said. "So I actually went to visit Miami about a week before signing day. They said they were going to offer me. I was told they were going to send the papers for me to sign. But the papers never came.
"I tried to call some of the other schools back, but they all ended up signing other people."
So, Roman took a job for a moving company in Atlanta.
