Jolly Rodgers Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I would say he is officially done as an NFL player. Does anyone know if he still get a pension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Well, he did have one of, if not the lowest, wonderlick scores in NFL history. I for one never expected much of Akili and am proud to say that I did not draft him in any of my dynasty leagues. :whew: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Little Bit Special Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I don't think he even held onto a starting job in NFL-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedroz13 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Big time bust....sometimes you just never know how these high draft picks will turn out. 840418[/snapback] This is the exact reason why they shouldn't pay the draft picks the way they do. College success doesn't always equate to NFL success. These kids aren't going anywhere except the NFL, so the NFL can basically decide what they want to set as the standard for paying 1st rounders, etc. Its morally wrong to pay a 20 mill bonus to a QB thats riding pine for a year.

Sox Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 As a Bengals fan,I remember throwing things during the draft when they turned down the Saints trade offer and selected him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
