1989 Rose Bowl, Michigan beats USC 22-14. In the upcoming NFL draft, USC QB Rodney Peete is drafted by the Detroit Lions in round 6. Those events inspired questions: How could such a good college player not get drafted until pick 141? How will this change the Lions roster? This was the begining of Erik's obsession with the NFL Draft and how it affects the Detroit Lions . Erik currently lives in Rochester Hills and is a University of Michigan graduate.
