Colts Sign Fourth-Round Pick Jacques McClendon

by LovinBlue on Jul 28, 2010 6:20 PM EDT in Colts News

National Football Post is reporting that the Colts have signed their shiny new OG from Tennessee to a four-year $2.22 million contract. McClendon is super strong, having bench pressed 225 pounds 37 times (!), and super smart, having earned a post-graduate degree from Tennessee in 4 years.

Welcome to the Colts, officially, Jacques!

We don't have to worry

Hopefully he won’t be another OL “bust” drafted by Polian

McClendon is relatively late-round.... not 1st or 2nd...

so I hope he escapes the “curse”…..

If you see my smilieys, think of E.M.H. - our COLTs King of Smileys!

That would depend...

was it a 2-yr degree in 4, or a 7-yr doctorate?

Obviously I’d be more impressed with one than the other.

Post-grad usually means above Bachelor's.

I’ve never really heard it used otherwise.

Anyway, Colts.com lists his degree as Economics and a Master’s in Sports Management.

Economics?

Damn, I’m liking this guy even more

Econ?

Im not really that impressed only because i despise anything that has to do with politics (thats for another story though since i dont want to mix politics with football).

I am, however, impressed that he got his degree so quickly and that he is a double major.

I count it as 2 degrees

not a double-major

He got an undergraduate degree (BS or BA) in Economics, and a Master’s in Sports Management.

How can you not love a team that does this?

Agrreed & got Masters relatively fast even if wasnt playing football so with football has to be quite intelligent

Actually

I’m going to do Economics in college, so it’s more like a sympathizing thing or something alike. Plus, a guy with a good brain and with muscles is something not so usual
