Some players are held up from joining their NFL team until their college class graduates. But for Packers defensive lineman Johnny Jolly, the degree he received yesterday is far more important. According to Chris Roth of WBAY in Green Bay, Jolly was in a Houston courtroom Wednesday, receiving a diploma for completing a drug treatment

And that there answers the questions on why Jolly wasn't in GB before.. red tape and not a lack of desire. Congrats Johnny... well done.

I found this encouraging.

I know I’ve seen a change, and I know your family has seen a change, and we are just so darn proud of you today just for the progress that you’ve made. I didn’t know if we would see this day happen.

My life is going great. I’m back with my team, the Packers. I just want to thank her. She’s done a really good thing for me. That was a blessing.

I am super happy for him. What a horrific upbringing he had to overcome with his own mother having been an addict. He has made a major accomplishment here.

Hopefully, he continues living the dream.

I am glad first and foremost that he seems to have cleaned up his act and I hope going forward he can keep himself out of trouble. I have been saying I am optimistic about his recovering his career and I sincerely hope he is able to make it back to form and contribute.

As far as his career as a DT in the NFL goes, his return to form would be unprecedented. I'm hopeful for this to happen in Green Bay with Johnny Jolly.

I remember Gilbert Brown was out of football and came back but he only missed one year. I wish him the best but it will be astounding if he makes the team.

First and foremost I hope that JJ the man is able to continue on his road to recovery. If JJ the player is able to return so much the better. He will be under a tremendous amount of pressure. From himself, his family, his team, the league and fans in general. He has to be incredible strong to achieve his dream.

Eric Swann years ago basically didn't play organized ball for I believe 2 years and made a successful transition to the NFL.. albeit at a much younger age.
