Waiting game for Amboy's Bothe eyeing NFL tryout
Rock Island reports former Amboy High School star John Bothe, a two time NCAA Division III All America Center at Augustana College, was bypassed in the NFL draft but remains hopeful for a free agent tryout with one of 28 teams. He has mailed letters to teams and participated in scouting lists as camps approach. The new training camp limit to 80 players by June 1 may hurt marginal players like him.
