Chad Long brings two-way toughness and reliable DB versatility to Bowling Green
Long’s appeal is less about flashy box-score numbers and more about proven football versatility: Bowling Green lists him as a defensive back while his roster bio shows a history of production on offense and in the return game, including 88 career tackles, 671 rushing yards, and 2,532 career rushing yards at previous stops. That kind of multi-phase background usually signals toughness, field awareness, and a team-first mindset—traits that translate well to special teams and depth roles in the secondary. If you want a competitive, high-floor player who can fit multiple packages, he looks like a smart add.
