McGrorty had received the most interest from the Rams and the Detroit Lions heading into the two-day draft weekend. SOU wide receiver Andrae Thurman and punter Steve Baker, who were also expected to draw some interest from NFL teams, had yet to sign free-agent contracts as of press time. McGrorty, a 6-foot, 228-pound tailback during his four years with the Raiders, leaves for the Rams minicamp in St. Louis on Wednesday. He is expected to compete for a tailback, fullback or special teams position. The NAIA All-American from Warrenton set 10 school and eight regional records while at SOU. He finished with 5,414 career rushing yards, 75 rushing touchdowns and 474 points during his career.
