damn... i was looking forward to seeing him play. he's one hell of an athelete.

I wonder if he has to give back the money? Anyone know about that sort of thing? I am sure that guy will be successful at whatever he decides to do with his life, tho.

yeah, but man it had to be tough making the transition from being the man and into a wide reciever. that is giving up a lot of control on his part. I look for him to come out in a year or two and try out again. just my opinion I could be wrong.

He was mad because he wasnt getting any playing time and Mike Martz said he wouldnt play anytime soon. He should of kept playing in my opinion now he's going to have to go in the real world and work.

I dont really care he went to Nebraska!! Everybody thinks they are so good! But I dont know if I am the only one that see's this but they play teams like Utah ST,Troy St, Indiana every single week this is who they play! Like last year they played Colorado thier first true test look what happend you get beat by 30+ points. Then you go in and play the number 1 team in america because they were suppose to be number 2. What a joke and they get thier ass handed to them in that game to. I hate Nebraska. I would rather watch Utah St play over them!

Nebraska QB's never do.

Yeah, but they were gonna use him as a Wide Receiver... Brother had skills running the ball and making people miss... Would have been nice to see how he would have developed and if he had good enough hands to start as a wide out in the Rams system...

He did give back the signing bonus. Mike Martz and himself wasn't getting along and transition to wide receiver has been hard on him. Plus the current injuries. Thats the latest. I wouldn't be suprised to see him in the CFL for a few years and then come back to the NFL when his quarterback skills are better developed.
