Hell yes. Good for Pig. I have a lot of love for Pig, hated he didn't get to finish his senior year at UT. What's really impressive is he has been gone from UT for at least 2 and a half years. He must not have given up on his dream and kept putting in work. Anybody know if Pig has been playing in the CFL and/or Arena League ?

Have to think ZA had something to do with this. Congrats to him nonetheless.

U know I didn't even think about this, but u have to be right. ZA better do something, from what I hear he isn't off to a good start with Da Bears. I hope Pig gets a fair shake and some preseason playing time

Saw an article saying ZA threw Kevin White under the bus. I think if u go to the NFL section in VolNation and then to the Bears thread, u can pull it up

Good for Pig. I know he made some mistakes, but he was a favorite of mine. I wish him the best.

Will suprise me if he makes the official roster but glad he is getting a chance and maybe he can stick it out on the practice squad and still make a good chunk of change a year.

Not a millionaire lol.
The technical definition of "millionaire" is a person (or a married couple) with a net worth that's greater than $1 million U.S. dollars.

"Net worth" represents that person's assets, minus their liabilities. Net worth is described as "what you own minus what you owe."

Good for Pig. Good kid, hard worker. Would have finished his career if he was at a few other SEC schools, but it is what it is.

What great news!! I was such a fan of Howard. Broken my orange heart when things fell apart at UT.

I wish that young man the best. Clearly instead of folding he decided to put on more steam.

Last I heard was Pig was suffering some mental issues which may have lead to some drug use when he was here at UT.

No he's not. It'll be great if he can stick and make the roster in which he'll make the league minimum which is $500k....and after Uncle Sam gets done with him he'll have $300k left over, IF he can make the 53 man roster which is a long shot. If he makes the practice squad it's only like $100k or so.

Half of that is guesses and estimates anyway. I always love seeing when someone is estimated to be worth anywhere from "1 to 30 million dollars" or something like that. If that was me and I thought it was 30, I'd wonder what the hell was missing.
