Vince Biegel buzz: Dolphins' cranberry man making impact with his motor

DAVIE, Fla. -- When you drink a glass of dark Ocean Spray cranberry juice, there's a chance the cranberries were harvested by Miami Dolphins linebacker Vince Biegel and his family from their cranberry marsh in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.

A small-town fifth-generation farmer who spent 10-hour summer days knee-deep in cranberry beds, Biegel took a unique journey to the NFL.

"The cranberry marsh was my only job growing up. It's a hard job. It's not a spotlight job. There's not a lot of glory," Biegel said. "I learned to take responsibility, have a strong work ethic and take advantage of your opportunities.
