gasperson on NFL roster

After two serious knee surgeries in college - one that kept him away from the game for 18 months - and nearly three years on the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad, Michael Gasperson was added to the Eagles 53-man roster for the final two games of the season.
Gasperson, who prepped at Palma, has not played in a regular season game since 2004 when the receiver was at the University of San Diego.
The 6-foot-4 Gasperson has spent the last three years practicing weekly with the Eagles scout team. Apparently he made enough of an impression to be added to the 53-man roster, where his salary will double.
Gasperson is one of three players from Monterey County on an NFL roster, joining Cowboys tight end Tony Curtis (Seaside) and San Diego special teams demon Kassim Osgood (North Salinas).

Speaking of Osgood, he was named to the AFC Pro Bowl team as a special teams player for the second straight year.
A backup receiver for the AFC Western Division champion Chargers, Osgood is just the second player from Monterey County to become a Pro Bowler, joining current Chiefs head coach Herman Edwards.
