Underclassmen: Who's In? Who's Out?
The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NFL Draft passed at 5:00 p.m. today. So who will give up a lifetime of accounting work to pursue NFL glory and who will continue to have his pick of starry-eyed sorority girls for one more year?
The biggest names announced today were USC's Mark Sanchez and Florida's Percy Harvin, who both chose to go pro. I'm sure Pete Carroll will just pull another pretty boy out of his desk drawer, but how easily can Urban Meyer replace Harvin? I still say Florida doesn't beat Oklahoma without him and perha.... who am I kidding? Florida is unbeatable. Tebow controls us all. They might as well cancel 2009, because is resistance is futile. Sigh.
Notable Names Leaving (full list here):
Mark Sanchez, QB, USC Percy Harvin, WR, Florida Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech Nate Davis, QB, Ball State Andre Smith, DT, Alabama Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia Chris "Beanie" Wells, RB, Ohio State Donald Brown, RB, Connecticut Jeremy Childs, WR, Boise State Shonn Green, RB, Iowa P.J. Hill, RB, Wisconsin Ricky Jean-Francois, DL, LSU Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State LeSean McCoy, RB, Pittsburgh Sean Smith, CB, Utah Brandon Williams, DE, Texas Tech
The only real surprise is that not one of the big three QBs—Tebow, Bradford, McCoy—will be going. They were the three finalists for the Heisman Trophy and that means the three best teams in the college football will be returning mostly intact next year. Yay! Nothing will ever change and things will be perfect forever!
Notable Names Staying:
Tim Tebow, QB, Florida Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma Colt McCoy, QB, Texas Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi
