                         TRIBUTE TO BRAD SEELY

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, Brad Seely is a South Dakota native who 
was a standout player at my alma mater, South Dakota State University. 
He has since developed into one of the best special-teams coaches in 
the National Football League. When another South Dakota native, Adam 
Vinatieri, kicked the Super Bowl-winning field goal, it was the 
culmination of a lot of great coaching and coordination under the 
leadership of Brad Seely.
  Brad has long been an outstanding coach, serving with the 
Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, and Carolina Panthers. Since 1999, 
Brad has been a member of the New England Patriots coaching staff and 
has played an integral role in the organization's two titles in the 
past 3 years. Prior to his career in the NFL, Brad coached throughout 
the college ranks at Colorado State, Southern Methodist, North Carolina 
State, Pacific, and Oklahoma State.
  It is my great pleasure to honor Brad today. He has been a key part 
of the New England Patriot's success and has made his home State proud.
