But height is not the only attention grabber for the 22-year-old. He grew up in eastern Colorado and played at Colorado School of Mines in Golden. He watched John Elway to learn his position and grew up a Broncos fan, which means his family always calls with more than the usual questions.

"It's been a good experience staying close to home and family," Friehauf said. "It's a little bit of a dream come true -- especially growing up watching John Elway. Wherever I go I talk about football. (My family) is excited because I stayed close to home. I think they were expecting me to go play across the country."

Friehauf truly could have ended up anywhere. He is the first to admit that Colorado School of Mines does not routinely send players to the National Football League. He is one of only three Orediggers to get a professional shot in the last two years. Strong safety Daniel Leger signed with the Buffalo Bills earlier in the offseason, while wide receiver Brian Sump signed with the Chargers in 2004 and is now playing for the Los Angeles Avengers in the Arena Football League.

Mines is a NCAA Division II school, meaning it has fewer scholarships to give and has a smaller attendance than "big-time" colleges. In fact, the Orediggers attendance for the entire season in 2004 -- home and away -- of 42,969 would barely fill just over half of INVESCO Field at Mile High.

"It's definitely not something that you count on every year, so it is exciting for a kid to get a chance -- especially at a school like ours," Mines coach Bob Stitt said. "Most of our kids are planning on an engineering career, not an NFL career."

He said Friehauf has a chance to do well in the Broncos system, since the Orediggers modeled several plays from offenses coached by Head Coach Mike Shanahan . Stitt learned under former Broncos offensive coach Kay Dalton.

Friehauf obviously flourished in college, putting up numbers that got him signed as a free agent May 12. He set school records in passing yards (9,783), touchdown passes (84), attempts (1,183) and completions (773). He accounted for 92.6 percent of the team's offense in two playoff games (1,044 of 1,127 yards). He also set Division II records in passing yards (4,646) and completions (384), winning the Harlon Hill Trophy, given to the best player in the division.

The quarterback set the playoff record for completions in consecutive weeks.

Friehauf does not see the size of his college as a handicap. Speaking like a true Broncos fan, he pointed out that former tight end Shannon Sharpe attended a smaller school (Division I-AA Savannah State).

Hitting the NFL means hitting the books, which he has focused on in the past two months.

"Chad's a very intelligent guy," Stitt said. "The Broncos are going to be way more complicated than what we were. The thing Chad's going to have a problem with is he's a perfectionist. He's going to want to make the perfect read every time."

Friehauf's dedication is obvious, saying he makes it home at night just in time to eat, study the playbook a little more and go to bed. He did, however, squeeze in a quick call to update his old coach.

Yes, he's trying to keep a low profile, but his dedication is obvious.

"It's pretty rough being a rookie and getting thrown into a new system and seeing new defenses," Friehauf said. "It's a lot quicker game.

"It's going to be tough, but I'm up for the challenge."
