Squirrel White Retires from NFL

[OrangeTsar]

Yeah the NFL has this strange requirement to actually catch the ball on your feet and keep running with it. Odd concept to him I guess.

Maybe if he hadn’t played with two Vol quarterbacks infamous for overthrows. A lot of those squirrel „falls“ came after having to stretch forward two to three yards while running full speed try to catch up to the ball for an acrobatic catch. I don’t remember his having many chances to catch a ball in stride.

I am sad that he didn’t stay and have the chance to run some routes for Joey.

Best of luck to the young man. The squirrel „waddle“ after a TD catch will always be one of my favorite Vol memories.

I didn't see this posted but came as a surprise to me after just being picked up and being in the NFL for 11 days.

I am assuming that your $100k figure was his annual NIL and not a cumulative over his 3 years by the river?

Like I said, I'm not gonna jump on Squirrel. Also not gonna come here and tell you folks I was the most mature individual at 22-23.

Life has a way of making you figure it out though. I would imagine there is an avenue for Squirrel to come back and complete his degree at UT if he so chooses either pretty cheaply for for free considering the whole picture.

I wish him well-as I do "most" who have donned the orange and white. As long as he lives a decent life and takes care of his kid, good job Squirrel

Now a story pops up in 15 years or so and Squirrels kid is a highly rated recruit and apparently Squirrel has not been in the pic for a long time. Yeah, then I am gonna criticize

Always a squirrel trying to get a nut!

Everyone's not a winner. Like the 40-year-old dudes kicking a 22-year-old kid while he's maybe having the worst time of his life.

Sorry, I just have no tolerance for this. It's bad for the program and to the benefit of no one (except our rivals).

Wish I could remember my 40s. Good days ..I think?
