MSU putting a non-football athlete in the NFL is the most Mississippi State thing ever.

He's got a lot to learn- probably ends up on the practice squad. But at least he has a shot now
He didn't have to go thru the draft first? Guess not
TK discussing his training sessions (I'm imagining in an Ivan Drago voice):
"It was just a couple practices, but I felt comfortable with it. Tell me to run, I run. Tell me to knock the guy out, I knock the guy out."
That is Fantastic.Quote:

Are NFL teams in the habit of offering contracts to players they don't expect will make the team?Quote:
