This doesn't have to do with BG or anything but I found it interesting.

That's the competitive drive & desire you wanna see in your draft picks!

I think this attitude, along with a growing fear that he couldn't even pass a physical is why he dropped completely off the draft. Reading interviews and whatnot before & after the draft you could tell that he just didn't have the desire to be a football player. He's a smart kid who's got a degree, I'm sure he'll find something that better suits his personality...

Not hard to quit when no one offers you a job!

He had some medical problems that went undetected until his combine physicals.

He did turn down a UDFA offer from the Bengals.

He is a smart kid with a degree from THE UT (not TU-PU). He'll be just fine.

I think his daddy has enough money to support him if he fails. He did all of those car commercials you know.

Anthony Munoz also owns a resaurany in Mason and is a sport agent, so Mike could work for his Dad.

That's what I was thinking. I don't even know why this is worthy of a story, they talked about it on ESPNews like 5 times while I was watching.
