Thursday Night Football crew member Shawn Kopelakis has a nagging wonder about one of the Gators not on an NFL roster this fall...
There have been a slew of kicking fiascos and injuries in the first six weeks of the National Football League season. And yet, former Gators star Eddy Piñeiro can’t find a job anywhere.
I find it frankly baffling.
Piñeiro was a cult hero before he ever stepped foot on campus in Gainesville, thanks to video of him drilling a 77-yarder in practice while he was at junior college.
At that time, Piñeiro was committed to Alabama, but he soon switched to Florida, committing after a visit on which he rode shotgun with Jim McElwain.
