After Scott Sicko went undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft, he was going to retire and not play in the NFL. However, this decision has appeared to have changed as of late.
Sicko, a tight tend from New Hampshire, originally had plans to retire immediately following this past weekend’s draft when he was not chosen by a team. He admitted that the NFL had always been a huge dream of his; however, he had a back-up plan. If he was not selected and/or fortunate enough to play in the NFL, he was going to pursue another dream – teaching college American History.
Tuesday, Sicko was able to push back his teaching dream when he decided to take back his retirement from the NFL statement and signed a contract with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent. Sicko figures that this is honestly a once-in-a-lifetime chance and if it doesn’t work out then at least he gave it a try. He probably won’t regret accepting the offer in a few years and if it doesn’t work out, he can still pursue his teaching dream. Alternatively, if his football career does work out, he can always teach college American history later after fulfilling his NFL dream.
Sicko’s plans are if he doesn’t make either the active playing roster or the practice squad for the Cowboys, he plans to enroll in a graduate school this fall; otherwise, if he does make it, he plans on taking some online classes so he can have the best of both worlds. He is scheduled to attend the Cowboy’s training mini-camp this coming weekend.
I will have to say if I went undrafted in the NFL draft and then a few days after the conclusion of the draft I was offered a spot on a team in the NFL, I would take it. If it was a dream of yours a few days ago then it still is and it would be crazy to pass that opportunity up. You never know – it may just be the best decision that Scott Sicko has ever made. Moreover, it may be the best decision the Cowboys have made in a while as well.
