Three Purple Raiders have signed
free agent contracts with NFL teams. Cornerback Chris Kern signed with
the Detroit Lions following the 2003 NFL draft yesterday, quarterback Rob
Adamson signed with the San Diego Chargers today and running back Dan Pugh
signed with the Chicago Bears today.
All three players contributed highly to Mount Union's last three national
championship teams. Adamson started the last two years at quarterback,
compiling a record of 25-0 and leading the Purple Raiders to two national
titles; Kern, an All-American cornerback, was never involved in a loss
during his playing career at Mount Union, starting the last three seasons
while the team compiled a record of 42-0; and Pugh, a running back, received
the Gagliardi Trophy as Division III's best player following this past
season and was named MVP of the 2002 Stagg Bowl.
