Mike Kafka, Matt Conrath turn NFL preseason opener into St. Rita alum game

It’s not often you get to watch an NFL game and see an alum from your high school.

How about two?

St. Rita had alumni on both sides of the football in Sunday night’s Hall of Fame Game.

Mike Kafka, a 2005 graduate of St. Rita, played quarterback for the Vikings and was 7-of-10 passing for 66 yards, including [WATCH] a 34-yard TD pass. Kafka is trying to make the 53-man roster as a backup to Teddy Bridgewater and Shaun Hill.

Matt Conrath, a 2007 St. Rita alum, played defensive tackle for the Steelers and recorded two tackles. The fourth-year player was acquired from the Rams after last season and figures to be valuable in the Steelers’ 3-4 scheme.

The Vikings won 14-3.
