Albright going to Pro Bowl

Posted Jan 26, 2008

It took 14 years, but making it to the NFL's all-star game turned out to be a snap for Greensboro's Ethan Albright. The man known as the "Red Snapper" because of his bright red hair and the fact that he hasn't messed up at his specialty in ages, was added Thursday to the NFC roster for the Pro Bowl on Feb. 10 in Honolulu. Albright plays for the Washington Redskins. "I really didn't think I'd ever be going," said the Grimsley High School and University of North Carolina alumnus. (Greensboro News & Record)
