Eli Herring

Eli Herring

Eli Herring is a former Brigham Young University offensive tackle who for religious reasons involving working on the Sabbath decided not to play in the National Football League and made his intention clear to all NFL teams prior to the 1995 NFL draft. Nonetheless, the devout Mormon was drafted in the 6th round by the Oakland Raiders. He now is married with four children and works as a school teacher and assistant football coach at Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah. He is one of few people to get drafted in the NFL after declaring an intention never to play.

Herring served as a missionary for the LDS church in Argentina during one of that nation's periods of hyper-inflation.
