On the football field, Brogna was the first quarterback in Connecticut state history to throw for over 6,000 yards, and his 59 touchdown passes were the third-most in state history. He also kicked a then-state-record 54-yard field goal and converted 91 consecutive extra points. The Detroit Tigers made him the 26th overall pick in the first round of the 1988 draft; Rico's father, Joseph, convinced Rico to sign with Detroit instead of attending Clemson. Brogna went on to spend nine seasons (1992, 1994-2001) in the major leagues with five different teams (Tigers, Mets, Phillies, Red Sox, and Braves). Yet he never stopped wondering what would have happened if he had accepted the scholarship to Clemson. "If I had it to do over again, I would have wanted to play football," said Brogna.
