Johnny Millard has been a busy guy since graduating from Cal Poly last year. The former Cal Poly linebacker went undrafted in the 2014 NFL draft, but had a productive training camp with the St. Louis Rams before he was cut prior to the start of the season.

Wanting to keep his skills honed, Millard got an opportunity in a start-up developmental league called the FXFL, where he helped the Brooklyn Bolts to an undefeated four-game season.

Millard is now back in California, staying in shape and waiting for a team who needs a linebacker to fill-out a roster to give him a call. We talked this week about chasing the dream, his thoughts about the Cal Poly football program, and what playing a little running back in the inaugural FXFL season was like.
