Good for him. It wouldn't be a bad back up plan, if he can stay healthy. Of course if can stay healthy, he could likely go to the league.

Oh I agree, I was just surprised is all.

The way the current CBA is structured, NFL teams need bodies and bodies that come relatively cheap. A backup versatile o-lineman, throw him on D for goaline and short yardage situations, or simply a practice squad guy just to beat up on. You could get all that for 300 to 400,000 dollars guys like that are so valuable right now.

As you stated though, he has to be healthy and stay healthy.
