It didn’t take Mike Karney long to land on his feet. Karney, 27, a 2000 Kentwood High graduate and fullback in the NFL, was released by the New Orleans Saints on March 6. Five days later, Karney signed a three-year contract worth more than $3 million with the St. Louis Rams. The 5-foot-11, 255-pound Karney, who is known for his tremendous blocking skills, rushed eight times last year for 10 yards and two touchdowns.
