Childhood and Early age of Mike Golic Jr.

  • Following that, the New Jersey native went undrafted in the 2013 NFL Draft, which was quite shocking given his talent. His fortunes changed dramatically, however, when he wowed the Pittsburgh Steelers, who signed him as an undrafted free agent.
  • As a result, he lasted with the franchise for one year before being signed to a two-year deal by the New Orleans Saints. Mike Jr., on the other hand, was never able to truly impress the Saints. As a result, they waived his contract in September 2015, reclassifying Golic as a free agent.
  • Following that, the 6’4″ offensive guard tried out for the Montreal Alouettes and Arizona Rattlers before announcing his retirement from the game in 2016. Along with his retirement, Golic was named an offensive guard to the 2014 FXFL All-Star team.

  • Golic is an American citizen. However, the football player’s ethnic origin and religion are unknown at the present. More specifically, he received his first tattoo at the age of nineteen, which was a winged cross on his arm.
  • Additionally, that tattoo was inked the year of his grandfather and uncle’s deaths; as a result, he also has their initials inked. Following that, he inked numerous tattoos; nonetheless, they were all in random sequence. One of the bizarre tattoos he has on his right arm is an image of a lady.
