Most thought former Florida kicker Eddy Pineiro would get drafted at some point in the seven rounds; however, that never happened.
Following the NFL Draft, Pineiro tweeted that he was signing a free agent deal with the Oakland Raiders.
It wouldn’t surprise us in the least should Pineiro have a big NFL career. He certainly has the leg and the accuracy to have a long career; however, would he have benefitted by returning to school for his senior season? He was one of six undrafted SEC underclassmen, and all could have returned for another season.
Happy to sign with the Okland raiders! Thank god for this opportunity can’t wait to get to work ?
