Hope he doesn't end up like the guy, whatshisname, who QBed Virginia Tech before Vick came along. I heard he was working at Hokie Honda.

Good luck to him. Big Tennessee fan here. I hope he actually got some bit of an education and finds a new path.

There's a reason he wasn't chosen in the late rounds. Aside from his injury, scouts doubted his committment to football. I guess they were right.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kurt Warner wasn't drafted either.

I think this kid's previous injuries are what's giving him second thoughts.

Damn! . . . just damn!

Now dear Anthony will have to go back to school and finish up those pesky classes he skipped in preparation for the multi-million dollar contract with the NFL.

Classes like English 101, Soc. 101, Math (prep for General Math 101) and the like.

Wonder how he'll like selling insurance?

Geeez, I'm getting old.

I went to college with this guy's dad (Anthony Munoz). Now his son has graduated college... ugh.

What a team that was, though... Munoz, Brad Budde, Ronnie Lott, Riki (Gray) Ellison, Dennis Smith, Charles White, Paul McDonald, Marcus Allen, Keith Van Horne, Jeff Fisher, Chip Banks, Hoby Brenner, Calvin Sweeney, Pat Howell... the list goes on... I think there were a total of 37 players from that team that went on to play NFL football

who gives a darn? I certainly don't. You think this Munoz kid would care if I didn't get a job in the IT market?

Michael Munoz decided to quit football after he was not chosen in the NFL draft over the weekend

Good choice....

Now he might have to get a real job. I hope he studied while in class just in case.

I see that once again some folks read the thread and some do not. Michael Munoz is a great young man, riddled by serious injuries that cut his playing days short. I wish him only the best in his chosen endeavors.

I can't locate his name in a web search, but the NCAA's leading scorer in mens' basketball in 1984 -- the year Michael Jordan went sixth in the NBA draft -- also went undrafted. Unlike Munoz, he didn't have anything to fall back on; he had skated through school on his athletic skills and teachers' reluctance to hold him back from surefire stardom. The NBA's rejection devastated him, and it began a steady slide back into the old neighborhood and bad habits. He eventually took his own life.
