\n What are the chances of this?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty crazy for that to come full circle like that,\u2019\u2019 Giants linebacker Ryan Connelly said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what the odds are, but I imagine they\u2019re pretty big.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Yeah, this does not happ<\/a>en every day, or every year. Connelly is entering his second season with the Giants and welcomes as a teammate rookie Carter Coughlin. Connelly was two years ahead of Coughlin at Eden Prairie High School, and the two suited up together for the highly successful Eagles in suburban Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s really something we never talked about or even imagined, so it\u2019s pretty crazy for it to turn out the way it did,\u2019\u2019 Connelly said.<\/p>\n

Coughlin was a linebacker his freshman and sophomore years. Connelly was the upperclassman quarterback on those teams. They won two state championships together in a program considered the best in the state. They were coached by Mike Grant, the son of Vikings legend Bud Grant.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a monster as a quarterback,\u2019\u2019 Coughlin said of Connelly. \u201cHe was built like a linebacker, crazy athletic and super smart.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Hearing himself described as a \u201cmonster of a quarterback\u2019\u2019 made the 6-foot-2, 242-pound Connelly chuckle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he was probably just being a little nice,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

More niceties:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a cannon for an arm,\u2019\u2019 Coughlin said, recalling Connelly standing flat-footed at the 50-yard line and throwing the ball into the end zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI may have had a strong arm,\u2019\u2019 the reserved Connelly said, \u201cbut I couldn\u2019t exactly put it where I wanted to put it.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Connelly walked on at Wisconsin, transitioned to inside linebacker and became a fifth-round pick of the Giants. Coughlin stayed local, following his long-standing family tradition, and attended Minnesota. An outside linebacker with pass rush potential, Coughlin was taken by the Giants in the seventh round. This triggered a reunion for two former high school teammates and Big Ten rivals.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe texted me on draft day \u2026 he gave me a rundown on a bunch of stuff,\u2019\u2019 Coughlin said. \u201cIt\u2019s awesome to connect with him. I will be able to get some awesome wisdom from him.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
