I traveled to Baltimore to watch Chris Manno and the Chiefs play the Ravens last week. The only program was that he didn’t get any playing time.

It was his second professional game in the NFL. We spoke prior to the event on the field at M&T Bank Stadium.

It’s not often that I get to write about a Sachem athlete signing with an NFL team. In fact, it hasn’t happened since the early 1990s when Brian Bravy signed as a practice squad player with the Atlanta Falcons. The time before that was in the late 1980s when Jumbo Elliott was drafted by the New York Giants.

Chris Manno, who played at Sachem and Hofstra, signed with the Kansas City Chiefs and the coverage has been increasing on Sachem Patch.
