Adam Trautman isn't supposed to be here, on the eve of the NFL Draft, waiting to hear HIS name called in the first few rounds. At least, that's what many people told him.Trautman did not receive a single scholarship offer out of high school and chose to play at Dayton University, an FCS non-scholarship football program. There, after switching from quarterback to tight end, he excelled. Trautman was a finalist for the Walter Payton Player of The Year Award and earned All-American honors. Still, some people doubted he had a real shot at the NFL. After all, Dayton hasn't had a player drafted since 1977. All throughout his career, people have told him "you aren't good enough."Yet, on the eve of the NFL Draft, Trautman is projected to be the second or third tight end taken off the board. Throughout our conversation he talks about his love for playing physical, how he gained over 70 pounds from high school to the end of college as well as overcoming doubt, developing a mindset of intentionality and what he looks forward to most in the NFL.
