Career history

Dave Kraayeveld(born October 26, 1955) was a player in the National Football League for the Seattle Seahawks in 1978 as a defensive end and defensive tackle. He played at the collegiate level at Milton College and the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater.

Early life

Kraayeveld was born David Ray Kraayeveld on October 26, 1955 in Elkhorn, Wisconsin.[1] He played football at Milton College and at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater. His coach, Rudy Gaddini suggested Gil Brandt of the Dallas Cowboys take a look at Kraayeveld whom Dallas scouts tested and put into their rookie camp for workouts.[2]

Career

As a 23-year-old rookie, played defensive end against the Dallas Cowboys in a preseason game on August 12, 1978.[3] The Seattle Seahawks claimed Kraayeveld off waivers later in the season.

12th Man

On October 29, 1978, when Denver Broncos missed field goal, a referee flagged the Seahawks for having a 12th man on the field. Kraayeveld was that 12th man. Used to the Dallas Cowboy policy of using the same defense on field goals as the previous down, he had remained on the field. The Broncos made the second attempt to win the game 20–17.[4]

Family

Kraayeveld is the father of WNBA player Cathrine Kraayeveld, and is joint owner with his wife, Cynthia and his daughter, of a condominium in Bellevue, Washington.[5]
