Brock, Brock, Colt, And Dwan: The 4 Montana Boys in the NFL Playoffs
The NFL playoffs start tomorrow and the Montana Mint wanted to recognize the 4 Montana boys who will be playing (or at least will be on the sideline): Brock Coyle (SEA) Brock Osweiler (DEN), Colt Anderson (IND), and Dwan Edwards (CAR). For more on Montanans in the NFL, check out the 19 Montana boys that made NFL preseason rosters and our midseason check-in on Montana boys in the NFL.
Brock Coyle (SEA)
Seattle Seahwaks – LB
MT Cred: Born and raised in Bozeman, MT and played football at the University of Montana
Mostly filling in for injured players, Brock started in 2 games and played in 15 this season. He recorded 8 tackles and assisted in 3 others. His playing time this postseason will depend on the health of the players in front of him on the depth chart. Seahawks have a bye this weekend, so we will check the Seattle injury report next week to gauge Brock’s chances.
