On this episode of the Beyond the Helmet we are joined by former All-American and 9 year NFL offensive lineman, Vladimir Ducasse.

Vlad’s story is special. He emigrated to United States from Haiti as a teenager with a love for basketball and a desire to get a great education. Football just happened to fall into place for him as he grew into his frame. As a late bloomer and being late to the sport in high school, he didn’t have much fanfare until his senior year when he committed to UMass basically because it was the closest school to where he was!

Ducasse continued to develop to the tune of becoming a 2nd round draft pick to the New York Jets. He would ultimately have a 9 year career that also included stints with the Vikings, Bears, Ravens and Bills. Vlad now has re-enrolled back in school where he plans on getting his degree and pursuing a role scouting for a football program.
