Qadry Ismail

November 8, 1970

Ismail would go on to star in football and track at Syracuse University. Drafted by the Minnesota Vikings, with the 52nd pick in the Second Round of the 1993 NFL Draft, Qadry Ismail became the highest draft pick from Syracuse since Art Monk. In 1999, Qadry was voted Number 22 on the list of top 100 athletes by the Citizen’s Voice, a Wyoming Valley Newspaper. Ismail had some success in Minnesota, including 696 yards and five touchdowns in 1995, but not enough for the Vikings to want to keep him long term. Ismail played for the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, and New Orleans Saints over the next three years, having very little success. However, in 1999 with the Baltimore Ravens, Ismail led the team with 68 catches, 1,105 receiving yards and 6 TDs in 1999, including career-high 258 yards in one game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. What might have been the high-water mark of Ismail"s career and potential crowning moment came on January 28, 2001, when the Baltimore Ravens defeated the New York Giants 34-7 in Tampa, Florida in Super Bowl XXXV. In 2001, Ismail again posted 1,000 yards for Baltimore. In 2002, Ismail signed a 1-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts as a #2 wide receiver before retiring after posting 462 receiving yards and three touchdowns in his lone season with Indianapolis.
