2010 Mr. Irrelevant Tim Toone, selected by the Lions just over two months ago with the 255th overall pick in the draft, appeared on NFL Network’s Total Access program Friday night and did something unique.
Toone -- who resembles a Rastafarian version of ESPN’s Trent Dilfer -- signed his three-year rookie contract live on the air.
“I don’t know what I just signed,” Toone said, admitting he didn’t even read the contract before signing. “I don’t know how much I’m getting paid. I don’t know what my signing bonus is. But it’s kind of irrelevant, right?”
We appreciate Toone’s sense of humor, but the numerous speeches he listened to heard at the Rookie Symposium apparently flew directly over the former Weber State star’s dread-locked head.
UPDATE: We’re told that Toone’s agent, Brett Tessler, was on the set with the player and that Toone was “being playful” when he suggested that he didn’t know what he had signed.
