The future is now for Olympic skiier and onetime college football star Jeremy Bloom, who was drafted in the fifth round of the NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Bloom finished ninth at the Olympics in 2002. He finished sixth this year.
"I wouldn't trade the last two years for being a first-round draft pick," Bloom said. "The disappointing thing came when the NCAA wouldn't allow me to do both and showed me the door. But I think it's a tremendous blessing to be drafted in the fifth round, and more importantly, to a team that I think is a perfect fit for me."
