It makes it tougher playing at a Single-A or Double-A school because the perception coaches have of it, ... You have to keep your faith and know you can play at this level. From the experience I've had, coaches should look past that.
More Quotes from Bruce Gradkowski:
Ball State loves playing Toledo. But the game is about leadership and all of our captains were on the travel squad two years ago when we played there. We remember and we've taken it upon ourselves to make sure our team is ready this time.Bruce Gradkowski
You can't shut yourself off from hearing it, ... I've heard everything from late first round to fifth or sixth. I really can't think about that now. All I can think about now is having a good year. This is my senior year. In my senior year of high school I had no offers. So it doesn't make a difference to me what anyone says about me now. I have to go out and play hard and prove myself once again. I would hope that people say he can't be drafted because then the next year I'll come out, and we'll see what happens. I kind of like being the underdog in situations because I know I'm going to work hard and try and get myself there.

I think it ends the season right. Our careers here at Toledo as seniors, it is icing on the cake. This is our championship and it feels great.

When I went there it wasn't like I knew who came out of where, ... I wasn't into the draft stuff. I wasn't really paying attention to it. But now looking at it, it really is a league for quarterbacks. They keep coming out like Leftwich and Rotherlisberger and Frye. It's a QB league.

Our defense has been tremendous. They come out and play so hard. Our offensive line has been great, too. Look at our running game. You win up front.
Bruce Gradkowski
The whole family has the underdog mentality, ... We're going to work hard to get the job done. We're disciplined. We're going to know what to do. We might not be the fastest, strongest or the biggest, but we get the job done. That's it. It's in the blood.
