 Former Cerritos College football
and track athlete
Michael Bragg
has signed a two-year free agent contract to play
for the Kansas City Chiefs in the National Football
League. A cornerback, Bragg was signed as an
undrafted free agent by the New York Giants in 2004,
but was released during training camp. He will get a
chance to make the Chiefs 53-man roster and will see

One of the best cover men in
school history, Bragg was named 1st Team All-Mission
Conference selection in 2002 for the Falcons his

to Texas A&M - Kingsville, where he earned 1st Team
All-Lone Star Conference South Division honors and
helped the Javelinas advance to the NCAA Division II
semifinals in 2003. He continued his track and field
success and earned All-America honors in the long
jump three times. |
