Chiefs Agree to Terms with Second-Round Pick S Bernard Pollard
Jul 21, 2006, 4:30:34 PM

Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Friday that the club has agreed to terms of a four-year contract with S Bernard Pollard. Pollard is the fourth member of the Chiefs 2006 draft class to agree to terms with the club. As per Chiefs policy, no other terms of the agreement were made available.

“We are pleased to have our second-round draft choice Bernard Pollard under contract prior to the start of training camp,” Peterson commented. “We believe that Bernard is a tremendous talent who has the potential to eventually become a starter for our team in the future. We believe he will make a solid contribution to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2006 and for many years to come.”

“We felt after watching Bernard Pollard in college that he was going to be a physical player in the back end of our defense and I think we found out a little bit more about that this spring,” Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards commented. “He has great range and he is eager to learn. He’s a team-oriented guy. Bernard is a guy who has speed, a great ability to tackle and will help us on special teams. When you look at our secondary I think everyone was concerned about the corner position, but when I looked at it we had three safeties who had played a significant amount of time. I think the addition of Bernard Pollard is going to help us tremendously.”

Pollard (6-1, 224) joined the Chiefs as the club’s second-round pick (54th overall) in the 2006 NFL Draft. Pollard entered the draft with one year of eligibility remaining at Purdue. He played in 36 games (35 starts), recording 254 tackles (164 solo), 8.0 tackles for loss (-26.0 yards), a sack (-3.0 yards), four interceptions for 19 yards, nine passes defensed, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. Pollard also set a Boilermakers record with five blocked kicks, in addition to returning three blocked punts.

Pollard opened all 11 games at strong safety in 2005, producing 92 tackles (64 solo), 1.5 tackles for loss (-7.0 yards), three INTs, three passes defensed and a fumble recovery. He was named second-team All-Big Ten by The NFL Draft Report.

The Fort Wayne, Indiana native was selected first-team All-Indiana as a senior at South Side High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Pollard also competed in basketball and track in high school.

Is it possible for Carl to ever open his mouth without slobbering all over his own knob. I have never in my life heard someone give themselves more props than he does when he makes even basic comments. I realize he is sensitive to all of the legitimate criticism he has received over the past 15 YEARS regarding failures at talent evaluation, and just being a dick during contract negotiations, but it is absolutely childish the way he has to brag about every player he signs. He is just a gross individual that missed his calling as a used car salesman. Fortunately, I have never shaken hands with him, but I assume when he introduces himself, he mentions that he is a genius. What a complete tool.

I see nothing wrong with what he said. What do you expect him to say?

Good deal.

Good deal. Now let's get a deal done with Hali.

I met CP back in 95 and was pleasantly surprised at how cordial he was. I was just their to setup a pc for a press conference and he actually instructed the equipment manager to give me a tour and let me on the field. I don't agree with a lot of the decisions he has made over the years, but that was pretty damn nice in my book.

Glad too see we've got four signed and only three to go. I may be wrong , but I honestly think we will have all our picks signed and in camp on time.

Rhondzilla on 610 yesterday said that Croyle may be a problem to sign because he wants incentives built in based in the assumption that he'll be starting in 2-3 years...

I can't stand that fat gunt. That being said, If he holds out, he's the only one getting hurt in the deal. That is of course, unless both Green and Printers get hurt. The only way Croyl gets the number 2 spot is if he beats out Printers in training camp. Well, I guess we have to take Huard into consideration, but I fully expect that turd to be cut. At least I really hope he does.

I guess he expects Carl to say that Pollard was a reach in the second round, and that they have every expectation that he will suck in his short stay in KC, which made it easier to sign him.

BTW, fro the record, this is not how I see Pollard.
I have high hopes for him.

Just commenting on the moronic hawkchief post.
