Hope he takes this opportunity and makes the most of it.

best of luck to CL!!! except against the Saints :wink:

 

Glad to see him with another opportunity and hope he realizes the opportunity he has and runs with it.

 

Last I heard he was doing well with the Falcons. What led to his release? Did he get injured and underperform? Did he ever even do well with the Falcons?

 

Wasn't in shape and did not have good work ethic from what I recall.

My grandfather told me he was still with the team. He's 83, though, so...

 

That's good to hear.

 

Great news! Chad was a real leader on the national championship team. I hope he's been working out real hard and maximizes his opportunity.

 

Very rarely does a player in Chad's circumstances get a second chance. Here's hoping he's learned a valuable lesson and takes full advantage. :thumb:
