Early life

He played high school football at Dominguez High School in Compton, where he was a 2003 Super Prep and Prep Star All-American his senior year. Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com , Rachal was listed as the No. 12 offensive tackle prospect in the class of 2004. [1]

College career

Rachal redshirted his freshman year at offensive guard and tackle in the 2004 season. In the 2005 season he appeared in all 13 games as a backup offensive guard and on special teams. As a redshirt sophomore, he started all 12 games at right offensive guard in the 2006 season, earning a spot on the All-Pacific-10 Conference second-team.

For the 2007 season, the redshirt junior again started at right guard. Despite missing three games due to a sprained knee suffered against Washington, Rachal was named to the 2007 All-Pacific-10 Conference First-team Offense. [2] [3] At the end of the season, Rachal's father, Charles, mentioned that his son had told him he was declaring for the 2008 NFL Draft due to family medical issues. [4] [5] The month following his father's comment, Rachal stated his 64-year-old father, who works in construction, had recently suffered two hernias, and has tendinitis in his knees and his mother had been diagnosed with an abdominal growth the size of a six-month-old child, though he was unclear whether it was benign or malignant. His mother had informed him of her condition after the 2007 regular season. The only underclassman at USC to leave that year, Rachal stated "I had to do what was best for my family." [6]

The 1990 NFL season was the 71st regular season of the National Football League (NFL). To increase revenue, the league, for the first time since 1966, reinstated bye weeks, so that all NFL teams would play their 16-game schedule over a 17-week period. Furthermore, the playoff format was expanded from 10 teams to 12 teams by adding another wild card from each conference, thus adding two more contests to the postseason schedule; this format was modified with realignment in 2002 before the playoffs expanded to 14 teams in 2020.
