Mark returns to the field this Friday, but he won't be donning the full pads just yet.

Found out earlier tonight that Boston College LB Mark Herzlich has accepted an invitation to play in Patriots QB Tom Brady's flag football game on Friday night at 6 p.m. at Harvard Stadium, which is running in conjunction with the Audi Best Buddies Challenge that Brady helps with annually.

Yet another display of awesomeness from number 94 - flag football for a good cause. Herzlich will be accompanied by former Eagle and current Patriot Dan Koppen on the field this Friday. The game is open to the public so be sure to check this out.

Can you imagine if Mark Herzlich was filling in on your intramural flag football team? That would just be unfair. If you had to put together a starting 7 of BC greats for your flag football team, who ya got?
