If he's a bust, then I wish we had more busts like him. He was hurt a lot, so he didn't live up to his high school hype. He was not a bad player though. He just wasn't great like we thought he may be. Class act as a person though.

he was really good...it's the equivalent of saying wes brown didn't make it in the NFL...munoz was playing on the knees of a 70 year old. he could have been solid in the pros.

Knoxvols, you are a bust of a fan. He played really well and fought through some bad injuries. He gave his all for the Vols. Beyond that, I knew him and his wife in college and they were amazing people. You should be ashamed of yourself. Somehow our douchebag fans forget that these players are real people. Drink bleach.

Really? He is a real person you know.

It's amazing what you can find on Google before posting about a former player and calling him "A Bust"...

He started twelve games as a true freshman in 2000, but missed his entire sophomore season in with a knee injury in 2001.[1] His knee recovered and he returned to start twelve games as a redshirt sophomore in 2002, and started thirteen games as a team captain during his 2003 junior season.[1] For the first time in his college career, Munoz was not forced to undergo surgery during his 2003–04 offseason, allowing him to fully participate in training sessions and workouts that he had often missed during his previous offseasons. As a senior in 2004, he was again chosen as team captain by his teammates, was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American, and received the Draddy Trophy in recognition of his outstanding athletic and academic accomplishments.


Following the 2003 season, he graduated from Tennessee with a bachelor's degree in political science and a 3.67 grade point average, and was enrolled in a master's degree program in public administration during his final season


Despite his decorated college football career, Muñoz was not chosen in the 2005 NFL Draft, largely because of his history of recurring knee and shoulder injuries.[2] In November 2005, he was elected trustee of Hamilton Township in his first run for elective office.[4] He subsequently earned a master of business administration degree (M.B.A.) from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and now runs his own marketing and advertising agency in Cincinnati, Ohio. His wife Emily is a University of Tennessee alumna who graduated with a bachelor's degree in nursing

He was far from a bust. He started for 4 years. I remember winning ball games where we would run Cedric Houston or someone right behind him on 5-6 straight plays.

He had a degenerative knee condition that was a red flag for NFL teams. I remember Floyd Reese saying on the radio that no NFL team would take a chance on him because he had so many health issues.

When you go back and think about it, it is amazing how many guys bodies just break down by the time they are seniors in college, and they can't move on to the next level.

I don't really consider someone that did all he could with what he had a bust. His knees were completely shot by his sophomore season at UT. Shameful to call him a bust.

Unfortunately, he was following in the VERY big steps of his Old Man. Was he a solid player? Absolutely. Did he live up to the hype? Not at all. That equates to Bust City. That doesn't mean I dislike the guy, or don't appreciate his contributions. However, he did not live up to expectations, plain and simple. Big projections come with Big expectations. Thanks Munoz though, you were indeed solid.

Not cutting any slack for playing on two bad knees? The guy couldn't even practice most of the time and he was still a four year starter. Just because he didn't go to the NFL doesn't make him a bust.

I am a big Munoz fan, don't get me wrong. However, injuries, or being banged up, do equate to bust. Make no mistake, I am appreciative of the effort and great play he brought.

Solid and a bust in the same sentence. Stupid.

You had to have mean that he was a bust in the pros, because he was really good in college.

I think that kid was projected as a 2nd round pick and ended up undrafted in the end.

Are you saying that he was a bust because he wasn't an All-American more frequently?

Your negative mentality took over again, didn't it. It's a curse.

Michael Munoz gave his all for Tennessee. For that alone I will NEVER consider him a bust. He also had unbelievably high expecations among fans becuase of who his father is. However he was not a bust! He's a true VFL and a great ambassador of this university!

Good player, just never lived up to the family name. Neither did his sister for that matter.

Did we really have 10 people on here that just liked a post that ended by telling someone to drink bleach?

I agree with the "go easy on our guys message" but WOW

The reason Michael Munoz was a bust is because he only played football to please his father. He heart wasn't in it.

The only reason I have ever discussed Munoz was to acknowledge the fact that he played for the Vols for like 8 years…It seemed like he was on the field for an eternity…
