Former UH cornerback Mouton agrees with NFL's Titans


By Stephen Tsai
Advertiser Staff Writer

Former University of Hawai�i cornerback Ryan Mouton and the Tennessee Titans have reached agreement on a four-year contract that is worth a little more than $2.4 million and can escalate to more than $3 million.

�I�m happy,� said Mouton, who is attending the Titans� rookie symposium in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Mouton was the Titans� third-round pick in the National Football League draft in April.
Nearly $1 million is guaranteed.
Mouton is assured $675,000 in a signing bonus and the NFL mininum of $310,000 in first-year salary.
�This just caps off a successful postseason by Ryan,� agent Kenny Zuckerman wrote in an e-mail. �He went from a projected free agent and a blip on the NFL radar to a top draft pick, and it wasn�t easy. He missed a couple of games during his senior season, pulled his hamstring at the (NFL) combine, and did the same at Hawai�i�s Pro Day. In fact, he never completed a 40-yard dash healthy.
�However, with his tremendous upside and great character, he was able to overcome all of these obstacles and sill maintain to elevate his draft stock. I�m really proud of him, and he deserves it.�
