Yale graduate Dieter Eiselen (2014) signed up for a fourth year at Chicago Bears

Old Boy Dieter Eiselen (2014) het in sy tyd in die VSA nie net spiere gebou nie, maar ook onlangs aan Yale-universiteit graad gevang. Dié Gridiron-sportster is pas vir ‘n vierde seisoen vir die Chicago Bears gekontrakteer en word deur Amerikaanse kommentators as ‘n voorbeeld voorgehou dat harde werk met sukses beloon word.

Old Boy Dieter Eiselen (2014), the South African-American NFL offensive lineman has just been re-signed with the Chicago Bears for the fourth year. Dieter wrote to us and sent these photo’s and mentioned that he also recently graduated from Yale.

US NFL (National Football League) sport content creator and podcast host, George Eghator, says the South African sportsman is a great example of how grit, hard work, determination and continuous hard grind can get you ahead.

In a recent podcast interview with George, Dieter says he was “very excited” when he first got the opportunity to be signed by the Chicago Bears. He said that if you had told him in 2014, when he first moved from South Africa to the USA, that he would one day play for the NFL he would never have believed it. At the time he was just trying to play at a university.
