Looking for a break in Music City

Sporting News, The, Dec 27, 2004 by Dennis Dillon

Rich Musinski is returning to Music City to try to play football again--not for the NFL's Titans, who cut him September 4, but for the Arena League's Nashville Kats.

Musinski, who was featured in our NFL cutdown story (September 13 TSN), signed a contract in mid-October with the Kats. If he makes their roster (the season starts January 28), Musinski will double as a wide receiver and cornerback. "It's going to be kind of scary," he says. "I haven't played corner since freshman year of college."

An undrafted wideout from William & Mary, where he holds several school receiving records, Musinski survived with the Titans until the final round of cuts. He then returned to his hometown of West Pittston, Pa., where he has been helping out with his dad's business, Husky Provisions, delivering lunchmeat, cheeses and salads to grocery and convenience stores.

In October, the Patriots invited Musinski in for a one-day tryout, but they elected to sign another receiver. Now, Musinski is looking at the Arena League as a stepping stone to getting back on the NFL's radar.

"Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for," he says.
