I cant find it, but I can remember reading how Dick wanted to draft Jared so bad that he got up on the table during the draft and basically demanded CP to draft him.
The other player I can remember Dick wanting bad was Tyler Brayton (who was his preference when CP drafted LJ the previous year)
Gun is full of shit I think. Kendall Gammon was kept here till 2006, so that stuff that Dick was gonna let go of the long snapper and draft Jared is BS.
Jared Allen had more sacks in college than any other player iirc, who cares what school?
The idea that Jared was drafted to strictly long snap is ridiculous.
Gun obviously has ill will for Dick Vermiel because he replaced him as HC back in the day and those statements he made were over 5 years after the fact.
