Same deal with Schroeder, stashed on IR in 1984. He was taken in the 3rd round in '94.

Yeah I know we're splitting hairs here, point is they both still had more experience than Campbell would if he were to play next year.

Do you remember what the rules were on players being eligible to practice while on IR back then? I don't even know what they are now actually.

Good question. I'm really not sure.

All I know is that was a frequent trick of Gibbs back then, to stash a player on IR.

Ryp was actually hurt in '87 though, so he might have been on IR for a good reason.
