Great Attitude! Best Wishes for a successful career in the NFL Bryan!

Kehl - why would you publically disparage a potential employer (Dallas Cowboys)?
How about - I grew up a 49ers fan but would love to go to any NFL team? Also,
the Utahn/Mormon comment was pretty generalizing as a whole lot of good Utahs
and Mormons don't love BYU or former BYU players like Steve Young. Also,
hopefully your friend's wedding doesn't turn into Kehl draft day with
tvs all over the place. I'm sure the bride would love that as a memory on
her wedding day. Sorry to be so negative as I loved watching Kehl and hope he
has a nice NFL career but I seriously was surprised by a few comments.

Bryan, good luck! Thanks for representing the LDS Church and BYU with integrity,
class, and superb athleticism.

Bryan, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for your excellence on
and off the field. You were not only the studliest linebacker BYU has ever had,
you represented the university and the church with style and class.
Thank you and good luck in the NFL. I'm sure you'll have a bright future. We will miss you!
Go cougs!

Kehl's a good guy and represents his family, church, and school well.
Go ahead and disparage the Cowboys. It is not as if you are an Apple user, and PC hater and have an interview with Hewlett Packer. Besides the Cowboys are the Great Abominable.

This is such a great post. I loved the honesty, and the post had a feel to it
like Bryan was just flowing out his ideas and his thoughts, not really caring
what anyone else thought. Remember too that he said he hated the cowboys, not
that he hates the cowboys. The guy who commented here that he was surprised
about a few comments and was so negative needs to lighten up. It's not
about being PC or trying to find ways that offense could be taken. Those
comments were easy, cheap shots in my opinion. We need more people like Bryan
out there...the world would be a whole lot better with the honesty he displayed
in his post, and football would be a whole lot better with more players like
him. We'll miss you Bryan! Good luck...we'll be following whatever
team you end up going with.

Jong: are you saying the Church needs superb athletes to represent them?
Kool Aid | 1:15 p.m. April 26, 2008
Bryan - I'm not sure how any good Utah/Mormon could be a 49s fan since the games are mostly played on Sunday when good Mormons should be focused on more important things.
spud man | 1:45 p.m. April 26, 2008
Good luck Brian. If you don't go til the 4th round it will be ok.
Former Coug | 1:48 p.m. April 26, 2008
I guess I wasn't a 'good mormon' I thought Bronco sressed
education and integrity...well that's not what I got from his comments.
Stop making former BYU plauers cringe with ignorant comments.

Good luck! We will truely miss you. You are what BYU athletics are all about. I
look forward to watching you play in the NFL wherever you go!

Brian will go higher than he might think with his size and speed. The NFL is
about speed anymore, even the QB'S can run now. Beck runs a 4.6 or 4.7. I
was glad to see Miami show some confidence in him by passing the Boston College
quaterback and taking the lineman long. Maybe he won't have to run for his
life this fall.

Are you really shocked by his comments? When hasn't brian kehl spoke his
mind. He's just honest.
Icarus | 5:33 p.m. April 26, 2008
Pretty standard narcissistic ramblings from an athlete. I guess he'll make
a good football player. But please don't make his writing available to the
public anymore. Please.
JM | 7:34 p.m. April 26, 2008
Let a person be human once in a while. Good luck Bryan.

To all the haters of this article, Kehl doesn't have to be politically
correct anymore. He'll be a pro and he can say whatever he wants about
other professional teams. I for one appreciate the honesty and openness of his
words. It makes him seem like a normal person instead of a "talking
head". If he would have said all the right things, it would be too easy to
characterize him as "plastic".
Chill out | 3:21 a.m. April 27, 2008
Can't believe people are taking his comments so seriously. It's
obviously all in good fun. He would be thrilled to play for Dallas or any other
NFL team. And of course he's not serious when he says good Mormons have to
cheer for the 49ers. I can't believe the emotions out there.

Overrated. Might be able to contibute on special teams for a few years before
drifting out of the league.
Are you serious? | 7:24 a.m. April 27, 2008
Who at DN dislikes Bryan Kehl so much as to allow him to make such a fool of
himself. Yes he'll be a millionaire once he's officially drafted, but
it looks like he'll be a rather dumb millionaire with comments like that.
Hopefully Bryan reads these comments and learns from his mistakes. Best of luck
Bryan in the NFL.
Re: Former Coug | 12:04 p.m. April 27, 2008
We are all cringing at your lack of spelling ability. No former BYU player gets
on DN and makes negatives posts about successful outgoing players.
for the peanut gallery | 1:10 p.m. April 27, 2008
I doubt "Former Coug" had a 4.0gpa in high school and was academic
all-MWC like Kehl was. This should be treated more as a weblog than an article.
He wrote it the morning of the draft right before he went to a wedding. Who
cares what he says in DN, anyway? Worry about someone who actually has real
off-the-field issues. Bryan is an exemplary student-athlete who has a tremendous
upside with his big frame, speed, and work ethic. Good Luck with the Giants!

kehl is a funny dude. i'm glad he went so late in the draft--after a utah
state player! maybe this will deflate his ego and help him work hard on the
field

I met Bryan today at Giants Stadium. He was a lovely person. You shouldn't
be so hard on people.
