He’swilling to risk anything in pursuit of a career with the NFL, evenleaving SUNY Brockport as he did this year after the last game of the football season. As Maciejewski said, “I can always go back toschool, but I won’t always have this opportunity.” So when his trainertold him he had a chance at playing pro-ball, he dedicated his life totraining for a tryout with the Bills team on Feb. 14. Thetryout included two hours worth of drills, all of which were timed byBills scouts. Although his times were impressive, Maciejewski will beplaying a waiting game over the next few months. He must wait for theBills to choose players from the NFL draft before they will look toother sources for recruiting. If he does make the cut, Maciejewskisaid, “I don’t think I would ever have a frown on my face again.” Produced by Megan Rossman
