Show Me The A) Money, B) Door
The answer is B!!
Remember when you were little, and you struck out 3 times in your T-Ball game? Or you didn't get picked to play kickball? Or even when you tried out for the baseball/soccer/tennis/etc team in high school and got told, "You're good enough to play Junior Varsity, but the problem is, we don't have a JV squad"?? Your parents told you to practice, get better, and keep your eyes on the prize, right? Well, apparently that never happened at the Munoz household.
You see, little Mikee Munoz wanted to play football. His daddy played for the NFL and is in the Hall of Fame. It seems little Mikey's college career was a bit injury-plagued, and when no team picked him up this weekend in the draft, he quit. No more pigskin. That's gotta make daddy proud. Now, they'll sugar-coat it and put on a happy face, and say stuff like, "When God shuts a door, he opens 12 windows." But here's what kills me.......You go to University of Tennessee--arguably a premier football squad in one of the premier college sports conferences in the country, and only AFTER you weren't deemed better than 255 fellow players, you have this revelation: ""I had fun playing football. But I never found my identity playing football. . .Football isn't who I am." Oh, now I get it. Did you tell Coach Fulmer that a few years ago, or was this AFTER your free education? I'm sure all the people you competed with will find it refreshing that "football isn't who [you] [are]."
There are TONS of success stories about undrafted free agents. The Titans' starting receiver, Drew Bennett, is one such example. But hey, it's so much easier to quit. Especially when 'ole dad probably has enough money in the bank anyway.
