Look for former Navy standout Kyle Eckel in a Patriot's uniform at today's Super Bowl, probably on special teams. Eckel scored a couple of TDs this year as a running back, but he's made some key tackles on special teams.
There's always a mention of his separation from the Navy for "undisclosed reasons." My best guess is that his cohort was up for promotion from Ensign to Lt.(j.g.), his fitness reports weren't up to snuff, and he was allowed/encouraged to return to civilian life. It happens. If I'm where God wants me to be, so is he.
BTW -- There's another running back Eckel entering the Naval Academy Prep School this year. Stay tuned...
