LARNEL COLEMAN DRAFTED IN THE 7TH ROUND BY THE MIAMI DOLPHINS!!!!!!!!

[econalum]

Some details: Larnel Coleman, OT, UMass: The 6-foot-7, 307-pound Malden native and former St. Clement catalyst told the Globe before the Draft that he’s always viewed himself as an underdog.

“That’s always been how I’ve looked at myself,” Coleman said. “It always keeps me humble, keeps me hungry, and keeps me grinding each and every day.”

The underdog is now heading to the NFL, as the Miami Dolphins selected Coleman in the seventh round with pick No. 231 on Saturday.

A look at Ray Thomas-Ishman.

Ray Thomas-Ishman points to different spots on his body, ascending from his left calf to his thigh to his back, identifying exactly where the five bullets entered his body on Oct. 4, 2013. Then the offensive lineman who is a prospect in this week’s NFL Draft relayed what he was told by a doctor in the emergency room eight years ago.

“If I was smaller,” Thomas-Ishman said during an interview this spring, “I’d be dead.”

Thomas-Ishman, who played last season as a graduate transfer at Buffalo after starting three years at UMass, is 6-foot-3 and 313 pounds. He wasn’t far off from that weight when he was a high school sophomore at Simon Gratz in Philadelphia and gunshots were fired during a fight after a game. Thomas-Ishman was wounded in five spots — two on his calf, two on his thigh and one on his lower back — before he was raced to the emergency room. At the moment, the idea of playing college football, much less in the NFL, was of little concern.
