ESPN has an online feature detailing Ex Patriot quarterback Drew Bledsoe's retirement from the NFL and his entry into the Walla Walla Wine Market.
Of course, Bledsoe, who starred for both the Wa-Hi Blue Devils and the Washington State Cougars is no doubt the most famous athlete to come out of my hometown.
He was one of the top recruits in the nation upon his high school graduation and after an incredible college career, was number one draft pick for the New England Patriots. He could have easily become a Seahawk as the two teams were the NFL's worst. A few decades later, the Seahawks and Patriots would meet in the Super Bowl, but Bledsoe was long into retirement by then.
We visited Bledsoe's downtown Walla Walla tasting room not long ago.
