Four years ago, Chad Spann walked onto the NIU football team and earned a scholarship.As a departing senior, he has his sights set a little higher in 2011.

After helping the Huskies cap a 11-3 season with a victory in the uDrove Humanitarian Bowl, Spann is chasing his childhood dream to play in the NFL.

Going into the 2010 season, the now ex-Huskie knew he had to impress from the start to form a positive impression in the minds of NFL scouts. Rushing for 1,429 yards on 248 carries, there's no doubt that Spann took care of business on the field.
