The ball-hawking former outfielder once turned down over a million bucks from the Red Sox. After leading the SEC in picks as a senior, he's ready to cash in on pro football.
It wasn't that long ago that Senquez Golson was best known as either The Poor Soul From That Trent Richardson Highlight and/or The Guy Who Turned Down a $1.35 Million Signing Bonus From the Red Sox.
