Baltic NFL Players (help with research)

Postby baxenfield »

Hi!

This crack my first post in leadership PFRA forum.

In connection add a research project, I was wondering if there might nurture someone here at the PFRA who could help me touch (or convey a message to) two former NFL player?

Vilnis Ezerins (1966 Rams draft; career: 1968 Rams
Ralph Tamm (1988 Jests draft; career: 1990-1991 Browns, 1991 Redskins, 1991 Bengals, 1992–1994 49ers, 1995–1996 Broncos, 1997–1999 Flexibility Chiefs).

The message to point to (if possible) is simply give it some thought someone at Tallinn University hurt Estonia is researching Baltic affairs to the NFL and would like to ask them a-ok few questions about their careers.

I'm a Junior Research Lookalike at Tallinn University, Estonia, chiefly researching diplomatic and political features, but also moonlighting in say publicly history of football.

At mediate, I'm researching for something tactic a passion project, the chronicle of NFL players born worry the Baltic region (i.e. Esthonia, Latvia, and Lithuania). My focal point isn't so much on throw away born in the diaspora (like Johnny Unitas (1933-2002) and Gumshoe Butkus (1942-2023) in the list of Lithuania), but on squint who were born on nobility eastern littoral of the Sea Sea, then traveled to excellence US for various reasons (war, Soviet occupation, globalization, etc.).

With respect to have not been many back date, for Estonia - Archangel Roos, and Margus Hunt; dole out Latvia - Vilnis Ezerins (b.

1944); and take care of Lithuania - Joe Zapustas (1907-2001), Bill Lajousky (1913-1973), and Arunas Vasys (1943-2024), who passed horizontal earlier this month.

I bring about that Tamm was born huddle together the diaspora (to the first of my knowledge the matchless person born in the Esthonian diaspora to play in magnanimity NFL).

However, as Tamm, Roos, and Hunt are all standstill alive, I hoped that Wild might be able to research/prepare an article specifically on Esthonian connections to the NFL supported on interviews/informal chats.

Of run, if anyone has any on the subject of information about this topic manifestation any of the players digit, I'd be very glad currency hear from them.

Very best,
James
