Dartmouth quarterback Jay Fiedler '94 was not selected in the National Football League draft, which concluded yesterday.
Several prognosticators billed the strong-armed, 6-foot-3 Fiedler as a late pick in the seven-round draft.
Fiedler led the Big Green to the Ivy League title his junior year and was named Ivy League Player of the Year. His production waned in the beginning of his senior year, but he finished strong, with 15 touchdowns in his last five games.
He also had strong performances in two post-season bowls, being named Most Valuable Player of the Epson-Ivy Bowl.
But in the end, he was not drafted.
Fiedler's hopes of playing in the NFL are not over yet. He can still go to a team's training camp as a free agent, which football Coach John Lyons said last week could be better for him.
"It's better because he can pick out a better situation for him to go to," Lyons said. "He'll wait and see. He has kept a real close look on these things, but it changes every day."
