Former Cerritos College football player Demetrin Veal,
who was released by the Denver Broncos prior to the
start of the regular season, was recently signed by the
Tennessee Titans. He was signed prior to the 10th
game of the season and has seen significant action in
both games since his signing.
After being
drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the seventh round of
the 2003 NFL Draft, Veal appeared in three games his
rookie season. He was then released by the Falcons
during training camp the following season, and was
signed to the Baltimore Ravens practice squad. Veal
didn’t see any action with the Ravens and was signed as
a free agent by the Denver Broncos, where he spent four
seasons with the Broncos. After being released by the
Broncos in training camp, the Titans signed him to
replace injured defensive end Albert Haynesworth, who
was a college teammate at the University of Tennessee.
While
with Cerritos, Veal was a two-time All-Conference choice
and was named the Defensive Player of the Year in the
conference and in Southern California as a sophomore. |
