Heisman winner Jason White wasn't drafted, either.

Before everyone piles on to Michael, a few notes. First, he's a solid citizen, raised well by his father, who led the Bush 2004 campaign in SW Ohio. He suffered alot of pain over the last four years and would likely have suffered more in an NFL career. His sister is also a great athlete, and he's been around one of the greatest lineman in NFL history.

He could certainly get a free-agent opportunity in the NFL, but I think this is a decision that should be respected. Remember, Jason White wasn't drafted either.

IIRC, the QB before Vick was DeShazo.

Actually, I knew Maurice Deshazo and he was a nice kid. Had a cup of coffee in the Canadian leagues after he didn't make the NFL, IIRC, then settled down in sales thereafter. All things considered, I don't think a productive career in sales is all that bad for a guy who was looking to work his way out of a tight spot growing up...
