Former vol David Martin

[GoTNvols13]

Well I was in Miami yesterday and I was walkin around with a ut visor on and david and his wife come up and started talkin to me. Turns out his wife ran track at ut and I think that's how they met. His wife was way nicer than he was but he said his contract was up with the dolphins? So he didn't know where he would be next I think he was tight end here? I don't really remember anyone else have any other info on him? Just thought it was cool to meet him



Gbo!

pretty sure he was a WR at UT and changed to TE in the NFL.

 

[WA_Vol]

He was a WR at UT, converted to TE when he got to the NFL.

 

[GoTNvols13]

Oh ok cool did he play at all I think he grad in 03

he played from 97-00

 

[GoTNvols13]

Huh he told me grad in 03. So did he get a ring? Did he start here? Catch many passes? Many yards?

 

[utvolpj]

you will find that many times grad year and playing years don't match up for NFL players. If he didn't finish his degree while at UT then he must have done it on his own time. UT has programs set up for that.

IMO he felt he was underutilized when he was at UT. He's had a solid pro career.

Hahaha it's my uncle back at are family reunion last summer

It was almost shocking to watch him at GB... as CPF was fond of saying, "We didn't know he could do that!"

Does he know what's causing it?

 

[GoTNvols13]

Hahahahahahahah I'm sure how long he play with the packers

actually I'm pretty sure I heard he was set on playing WR and didn't want to move to TE in college. Lots of players are like that. Witten said he was pissed for a long time at CPF for moving him to TE.
