That was an awesome read, finished it earlier today. A quick internet search says his net worth is 4 million and he’s coaching football. Life is good for J-Rock!

Chavis led defense still trying to run him down. Scrambling like Michael Vick out there.

4 mil out of 60? Hopefully he's got it set up to where it'll last him the rest of his life.

It’s kinda like the “better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all” mindset for me. At least he got to fly close to the sun for a while and has a good chunk left.

Vince Young’s net worth is 400k, as another example.

Sounds real painful. I always thought he didn’t make the Peach Bowl cause he was hurt, not suspended

That's what it was, 32.I think the QB from OU that won the Heisman a few years later got 60 guaranteed. (His name escapes me at the moment, Sam maybe. Oft injured, played for the Rams.) Either way, I wasn't knocking him. Proud actually. Lived life to the fullest for the better part of 15 years, and I actually hope he has set himself up with future earnings. He would be good to have around the program too.

Where do you get 60 million from? He only made about half of that. Should still have more but don’t overexagerate

That article is sad, he acknowledges the mistakes he has make but then makes excuses for his mistakes.

I saw him around January at the Scarlet Pearl in Biloxi at 10am playing craps in sweat pants and house slippers. I was sort of worried about him, glad to hear he is actually doing alright.

What is the rant’s opinion of Russell? A good tiger? I rarely hear him mentioned when discussing the legends.

Seems like another overrated Jimbo Fisher product at QB.

He was a phenomenal college QB at LSU. Obviously not as good as Burrow at LSU, but he’s in the conversation for great LSU QB’s.

Top 5? He only had 1 good season. Burrow had 1 good season then 1 great/unmatched all time season.
