Ricky Santos is one of three National Football League quarterbacks who played in the Colonial Athletic Association last season.

Santos, who played at the University of New Hampshire, signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as a free agent; William & Mary quarterback Mike Potts signed a free agent deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers; and Baltimore took Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco with the 18th overall selection.

Flacco became the highest-picked player from the CAA since Nashua's Greg Landry was selected 11th overall by Detroit in 1968. Landry played at Nashua High School (now Nashua South) and the University of Massachusetts. 

If Santos makes Kansas City's roster, his first NFL regular-season game will be at New England on Sept. 7. Santos grew up in Bellingham, Mass., which is about 15 minutes from Gillette Stadium.
