Waters was signed by Dallas as an undrafted free agent and released after training camp in 1999. Following his release from Dallas, he arrived in Kansas City for a free agent workout in March of 2000 when the Chiefs convinced him to make the move to offensive line, a position he had never played. He spent the spring of 2000 playing for the Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe where he started every game at center. The Waxahachie, Texas, native played in 44 games at North Texas, starting at tight end for three years before switching to defensive end prior to his senior season.

Five Mean Green Players Agree to Terms With NFL Teams DENTON - Five Mean Green players agreed to terms with NFL teams as free agents Saturday night. Linebacker E.J. Ejiya agreed with the Baltimore Ravens, while wide receiver Jalen Guyton (Dallas Cowboys), cornerback Nate Brooks (Green Bay Packers), cornerback Kemon Hall (Los Angeles Chargers) and defensive lineman Roderick Young (Jacksonville Jaguars) also agreed on free agent deals. Ejiya leaves Denton second in program history in career tackles for loss (40.5) and is the program leader in single season tackles for loss (25.0 in 2018). He was a first team All-Conference USA selection in 2018 and led the team in tackles with 121 (60 solo) with team highs in tackles for loss – his 25.0 ranked fourth in the nation, sacks (9.0) to go along with a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, a blocked extra point and 11 quarterback hurries in 13 appearances, all of which were starts. The Blaine, Minnesota, native also led the Mean Green in tackles in 2017 with 109 and added 12.0 tackles for loss and seven sacks as a redshirt junior in 14 appearances on his way to all-conference honorable mention status. Ejiya was a member of the team's leadership council in 2018 and will follow in the footsteps of another former Mean Green linebacker - Zach Orr. Orr, also an undrafted free agent, was a second team Associated Press All Pro selection in 2016 with the Ravens and spent three seasons in Baltimore before retiring due to injury ahead of the 2017 season. Guyton finished his North Texas career in a tie for eighth in career receiving touchdowns (15) and posted six career 100-yard receiving games, which is tied for seventh-most in program history. His redshirt junior season in 2018 saw the Allen, Texas, native haul in 54 passes for 805 yards with six touchdowns in 13 appearances for the Mean Green. A member of the team's leadership council in both seasons in Denton, Guyton was named Conference USA co-Newcomer of the Year and was a second team all-conference selection in 2017 when he had 49 catches for 775 yards and nine touchdowns. Guyton will join another former Mean Green player, fullback Jamize Olawale, when he gets to Frisco to join the Cowboys. Brooks concluded his North Texas career with his best statistical season in 2018, posting a team high six interceptions, which ranked third in the Football Bowl Subdivision. He added 67 tackles and 10 pass break-ups in 13 appearances, all starts. The Whitehouse, Texas, native was a semifinalist for the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award and was named second team all-conference in his senior season. Brooks picked off 10 passes in his career for the Mean Green, four of which came as a sophomore in 2016 when he was also named an all-conference honorable mention selection. Hall was a first team all-conference selection in 2018 after finishing with 48 tackles (39 solo), five interceptions (which ranked 10th nationally) and 14 pass break-ups in 11 appearances, all of which were starts. Hall brought two interceptions back for touchdowns and ranked third in the country in passes defended at 1.7 per game. A member of the team's leadership council as a senior, the Calhoun City, Mississippi, native made 72 stops during his first season in Denton in 2017 to go along with an interception, eight pass break-ups and a forced fumble in 14 appearances, all starts. Young finished his senior season with 30 tackles from his defensive end position. The Spring, Texas, native posted six tackles for loss and three sacks in 13 appearances in 2018 for the Mean Green, 12 of which were starts. Young posted 48 tackles in 2017 with 6.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and eight quarterback hurries in 14 starts for the Mean Green on his way to earning honorable mention all-conference plaudits. In all, Young appeared in 51 games across his four seasons in Denton, showing his versatility at both defensive end and on the interior of the line. Additionally, offensive lineman Jordan Murray was invited to mini-camp with the Seattle Seahawks. Three-day rookie minicamps will be held between May 3-6, and dates will vary by team. The five to agree to terms Saturday are the most North Texas players to either be drafted or agree to terms as a free agent in the same year since 1971 saw six (five of which were drafted) move on to the next level. North Texas had three players sign as undrafted free agents following the 2017 season, highlighted by running back Jeffery Wilson, who made six appearances with the San Francisco 49ers as a rookie last season.

I got this question from a fan via email. If anyone has info on where you can get one please let us know. Many thanks! —————— We are interested in purchasing several Cherokee Language Mean Green T-Shirts/Mug honoring Mason Fine and have been trying to find them for sale since last August. Posts keep mentioning reorders. Please let us know how we might purchase, or if we can order? UNT Native American Indian Alumni.

I think we have a deeper and more talented QB bench than I can ever recall. There is going to be a huge drop off when Fine graduates no matter who we have. He is probably the best QB we have ever had. the bigger issue to me is not the play or ability of backup QB’s but rather the development of the offensive line. Think of what Fine could have accomplished if our line was improved and deeper. Our new QB’s could benefit from this as well.
