Jackie Sherrill reflects on the life, career of defensive lineman Rod Saddler

Key notes from Jackie Sherrill interview

• Rod Saddler was a football coach doing a really outstanding job. According to his family, he just had a reaction to the pacemaker and was unable to be revived. It is a very sad loss, no question. When Rod came in, he was really an outstanding player, but also a great teammate, and a great person. His teammates and I have made plans and will be at the service. A lot of his former teammates were in constant contact with him.
