Hocker is a Saint!

[Dirttrackhog]

Glad to see him get signed.

[popcornhog]

Awesome to hear!

I've never been much of an NFL fan, but the Saints and Chiefs are my favorite teams.

[Vantage 8 dude]

I hope he has a very long and successful career in N.O.. :razorback:

[Hawgzilla]

WHODAT

[gmarv]

that's good news hope the best for him.

[King Kong]

Saints kicking has be up and down for a long time. It's a good place for him IMO

[Pig Latin]

hocker was yam good

[TexHog188]

Kicking in the dome should be to his liking.

[PORKULATOR]

Its a job kicking in a dome 10 games a year. (@ least. Atl & St Louis plus home games and probably a non division dome game somewhere so) 11 at least even.
Perfect for him. Awesome

[hoglady]

Saint fan here!!

[WarPig88]

[ADavisTheGOAT]

Very good pick up for the Saints! I hope Zach has a great career there!

[hoglady]

Me, too! Love dat!

Yep - I remember you work and live in my home town - Bossier City.
Hope the Saints get things back on track this year.

Congratulations to A Razorback, who was born in Arkansas.
One of the best kickers we've had in years.

" GO HOGS "

[Pigsknuckles]

That's great. He had tried out for them in December. Miami picked him up shortly thereafter, then recently waived him. Glad he found a place to land. Hope it's not just a move to motivate the other two NO kickers.

When they go ahead n sign him does he automatically go on the payroll. IE become a paid NFL athlete. If so wonder what kind of money that brings.

[DeltaBoy]

Congrats to Zach.  :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

My understanding is if he makes the team he will draw a paycheck for each game. I could be wrong on that.

[carolinahogger]

I think he is a great guy and was a fine Razorback but I doubt that he has fulfilled all of the requirements:

To become canonized as a saint, a perfect track record isn't required (or possible). Hence, being sinless isn't on the list. So, what is required for sainthood?

    Two verifiable postmortem miracles

    Note: Canonization (sainthood) requires two miracles, whereas beatification (blessed) requires only one.

    Evidence of having led an exemplary life of goodness and virtue worthy of imitation, having died a heroic death (martyrdom), or having undergone a major conversion of heart where a previous immoral life is abandoned and replaced by one of outstanding holiness

[hawg1221]

He's a helluva guy, but I don't know about a Saint.   

[Hogwild]

Saints cut Shane Graham today.

[thirrdegreetusker]

He's a helluva guy, but I don't know about a Saint.   

beat me to it

[pigture perfect]

Woo pig. Love the news as well.

[Pigsknuckles]

Saints cut Shane Graham today.

Hate that for Graham. Love that for Hocker. Hope he can make the best of it.

[Dr. Starcs]

How did Shiloh Christian pull this one off?

[SamBuckhart]

He's a helluva guy, but I don't know about a Saint.   

My heroes have always been Cowboys. I will pull for you, Mr. Hocker.

[Tequilin' Time]

Congrats Zach!!!   

Close enough to my new home (RN riviera) and in the dome!
