Ray Bentley
Ray Bentley is in his 12th season as an ESPN/ABC College Football game analyst. The former
NFL linebacker played 10 years of pro football from 1983 to 1992 after a standout career at
Central Michigan University and Hudsonville High School. Bentley began his pro career with
the Michigan Panthers of the USFL in 1983 winning the Inaugural Championship Game. After
the USFL folded in 1985, Bentley began his 7-year stint in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills from
1986-1992 including Super Bowl XXV and XXVI. Bentley has also been a local radio show

the Buffalo Destroyers of the Arena Football League. At Central Michigan University he

Driftwood
Old number 57, Jack Driftwood, is in his final season as a professional linebacker for the Buffalo
Blizzard in the North American Football Association (NAFA). He meets the Blizzard’s owner’s
daughter, Gerry Wainscott and the sparks fly! The team's GM, Donald Fegel, however has his
own plans for the lovely Ms. Wainscott and the battle lines are drawn. Though these titans clash
off the field, they both have only one goal for the 2015 NAFA season: A Mega Bowl
Championship. But will Jack even make it through the season? Not if Fegel has his way. The
action builds and heats up to a chilling race to the finish for both the Blizzard on the field and
this dramatic love triangle off the field!
