No Way To Return


The NCAA should reconsider how they treat college football players who elect to leave school early in the hope of being drafted.

Since 2010, over 25% of them were not selected in one of the rounds. Many found their way to a team as an undrafted free agent.

TE Thaddeus Moss of LSU is a great example. The son of Randy Moss had a great year in 2019, including two TD receptions in the National Championship game.

He decided to take his chances in the draft, but a medical exam showed a fracture in his right foot. His stock dropped so much that he went undrafted. His best option was to sign with the Redskins for a $20,000 bonus.

Players such as Moss, should have an option to return to school. This injury cost him a great deal of money.
