Oh!
Did y'all get worried when Percy Went into the hospital? What name came to your mind first?
DIMITRIUS UNDERWOOD?
Well for those of you who are young.. he was the worst draft choice ever by the vikings... here is his "career" in a few cut and pastes!
- Underwood played college football at Michigan State University and was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings with the 29th overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft...However, Underwood had missed most of his senior year, and his coaches at Michigan State warned NFL scouts that he wasn't mentally stable enough to play in the NFL.
- After being drafted, he signed a five year, $5.3 million contract in August 1, 1999 but walked out of training camp the next day and never returned, saying he could not resolve the conflict between playing football and serving his Christian faith. The Vikings released him later that month.
"Wait wait wait it gets worse!"
- In September 1999, Underwood attempted to commit suicide by slashing his own neck before repeatedly yelling "I'm not worthy of God". According to his mother, an ordained minister, his behavior had been influenced by attending the Immanuel's Temple Community Church in Lansing, Michigan; which she describes as a "cult that's posing as a church."
- He later signed a two-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys
- In January 2001, he tried to kill himself for the second time by running into traffic twice on a busy suburban highway. The Cowboys released him later that month.
Some folks are already worried about PERCY being hospitalized with exhaustion.. at least he didn't die at training camp. Let's hope he hires someone to slice oranges for him when he signs his rookie contract.
