EFC-Falcon Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 There seems to be a recurring theme in amongst the juniors that they just want to skip their senior seaosn and head for the NFL. The reaosn is Michael Bushhe would have been a first round pick without doubt, then he got injuured and ended up a fourth round pick.I have heard Felix Jones, and many others Earl Bennet from Vanderbilt said the reason wasIf I came back, there was always a risk that I could get injured,'' Bennett said. ``There were a lot of pluses and a lot of minuses. I couldn't go wrong with my decision whether I came back or whether I left.'' what do u think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuccah Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 If your predicted to go in the first day, by all means take that.. the risk of injury is too great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalbirdbrain Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I look at it like this.1. In a single contact, you could make enough money to retire as a young man.2. Risk Injury or just have an average senior year. 3. Miss out on one more year in the NFL before your body breaks down4. Become a restricted FA and an unrestricted FA, a year earlier.5. Risk that a top unknown player suddenly comes out of nowhere anddiminishes a player's draft value.I find it amusing that the millionaire college coaches who would leave aschool high and dry at the first opportunity, criticize players for pursuingthe NFL.
