		Martin is a veteran with Tampa Bay; Bill was Arizona's fourth-round draft choice this year; and the youngest, Santiago, is a college freshman.

		Martin Gramatica may very well be playing in the NFL next season, receiving the same amount of recognition as he would playing soccer in Argentina.

		Gramatica, who had previously been out of football and battled injuries, appeared to solidify that spot as the season ended.
		Gramatica seems to be the answer for us, he said before he was signed that he practiced each day, and at the age of 31 he should still have some leg left in him.
		i would like to see gramatica come back but im not getting my hopes up because he has had an inconsistent past, but he is capable of being one of the best in the league and i think that he will continue to do well!!
