Finnerty led Grand Valley, a Division II school, to more than 50 victories and three Division II national titles, the last in 2006. He briefly was a member of the Baltimore Ravens and later the Denver Broncos but never took a snap in a regular season game.
"He didn't run out of bounds. He put his head down and got the first down. He wasn't the guy that threw the ball away. He probably took some hits he shouldn't have," said Scott Boyd, a family friend who was on the search party that bond the body. "But he was a leader on and off the field. He played to his fullest. ... He was always upbeat and positive and smiling and had a warm handshake and hug for you."
