Alright, folks, let’s dive into something I was curious about today: Did Josh Heupel, the current head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, ever play in the NFL? I’m a big college football fan, and I always like to know the background of these coaches.
My Little Investigation
First things first, I fired up my trusty search engine. Gotta start somewhere, right?
I typed in “Josh Heupel NFL career”. Simple and to the point. I figured that would get me the basic info I needed.
The search results popped up, and I started browsing through a few of the top ones. Usually, the first few hits are pretty reliable, especially for something like this, which isn’t exactly a secret.
- I quickly learn Josh Heupel was a Quarterback, and He was amazing in college.
- Heupel was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the sixth round of the 2001 NFL Draft.
I scrolled down.
- He was injured during the preseason and had to sit it out.
Then I looked up other sources just to be sure.
- He later signed with the Green Bay Packers but was released before the 2002 season.
- He did not get the chance to play in a regular-season NFL game.
The Conclusion
So, there you have it! My mini-research project confirmed that while Josh Heupel had a stellar college career and was drafted into the NFL, injuries, unfortunately, prevented him from actually playing in a regular-season game. He got close, but no cigar. It’s interesting how things work out sometimes. Still, he’s clearly doing alright for himself as a coach!
