Bergstrom was All-State and Region 3 Player of the Year in 2004 as well as the Eagles' Most Valuable Player. Throughout his high school career Bergstrom won many athletic and academic awards and nominations, including being a three-year High Honor Roll, an Academic All State, earning a College Board AP Scholar Award and being a National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame 2004 Scholar-Leader-Athlete nominee. Bergstrom was also a three-year letterman in basketball and a two-year letterman in track and field.[1]
College careerEdit
2008Edit
Bergstrom enrolled with the University of Utah in 2005 before departing on a LDS Church mission.[1] He returned to school for the 2008 spring semester. He played in 10 games and started at left tackle against University of Nevada-Las Vegas, finishing with three knockdowns, two cuts and a pancake block. He also recorded two knockdowns and two cuts against Weber State and a pancake block against San Diego State. Bergstrom also saw action on special teams and was named Academic All-MWC and to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll.[1]
2009Edit
Bergstrom became the starting right tackle in 2009, leading the offensive line in total plays with 816 during the regular season. The coaches graded him at 81% on the year, with 662 wins of his 816 plays. He had 29 cuts and 12 pancake blocks for the season. His nine cuts against San Diego State was the best by a Ute all season and his highest grade of the year in a single game was 95% against fierce rivals BYU. He was also an Academic All-MWC.[1]
2010Edit
Bergstrom again started every game at right tackle and again led the offensive line in total plays with 584 in the 10 graded games. He did not allow a sack all season and he graded out at 84% on the season, winning 485 of his 584 plays. He had 14 cuts and two pancake blocks for the season. He again dominated San Diego State, winning 61-of-70 plays. He was voted to the Second-Team All-MWC.[1]
2011Edit
In 2011, Utah transferred to the Pac-12 conference and Bergstrom as team captain continued as the starting right tackle. He started in all 12 of the games he was fit, missing most of the rivalry game against BYU and the entire Washington game due to a knee injury. He led the Utes with an overall grade of 85% on the season, winning 546 of his 639 plays during the regular season. He was the best-graded Ute linemen in 6 games; earning 88% against Montana State, 91% against Oregon State University, 85% against University of Pittsburgh, 90% against University of California-Los Angeles, 89% against Washington State University and tied for the best grade with 92% against University of Colorado. He was named to the First-Team All-Pac-12 at the end of the season.[1]
Bergstrom played 48 career games at Utah, starting 38 at right tackle.
2012 Senior BowlEdit
Bergstrom was invited to the 2012 Senior Bowl. He played as a guard, the first time in his career that he has ever played the position.[citation needed]
Bergstrom was drafted 95th overall in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders.[2][3] As the Raiders had traded their first, second and third round picks in the draft, Bergstrom became their first pick at the end of the third round when he was taken with the Raiders' compensatory selection awarded to them for the loss of Nnamdi Asomugha in the 2011 Free Agency period.
Although a tackle throughout his college career, Bergstrom was drafted as a guard by the Raiders. Former Assistant Offensive Line Coach and former All-Pro guard Steve Wisniewski, who watched and interview Bergstrom at the 2012 Senior Bowl has been credited with discovering him.[4]
On September 1, 2017 the Cardinals traded Bergstrom to the Baltimore Ravens for a conditional 2018 seventh round draft pick.[8] He was released by the Ravens on October 19, 2017, but was re-signed two days later.[9][10] He was released again on October 23, 2017.[11]
On October 25, 2017, Bergstrom signed with the Washington Redskins.[12] He played in 13 games in 2017, starting three at center. On April 16, 2018, Bergstrom re-signed with the team.[13] He played in 13 games in 2018, starting 8. On April 24, 2019, Bergstrom re-signed with the Redskins.[14]
