I have seen a lot of NFL players come through App and we have guys now who will. We just don't have any juniors who are ready to go early.bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 3:45 pmIt's too bad that guys can't simply be good or great college football (or basketball) players. There is so much concern with the next level. The sad reality is, a great majority of good/great college football players won't be good enough in the pros. We have some dudes who absolutely ball out every game and that is awesome. We have a helluva team right now. I hope every one of them can play in the NFL. Odds are none of them will but who cares? If Evans and Gaither make it happen that is awesome. If they are working hard to get a degree even better. Duck gave it a shot and maybe he will make it somewhere. He could hit it big in the new league or in Canada. Injuries happen every week in the NFL. Maybe his shot isn't dead yet.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 3:38 pmNobody truly knows for sure because a lot can change as well. A major injury could keep a guy from getting drafted. Evans could blow his ACL in a week and be done.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:00 amIt's fair to wonder about, but the answer is that no one here knows or probably even has a good idea. So we're going to get a bunch of posts of people substituting their views of what *should* happen as the reality of what *will* happen.
I tried to say Duck would not get drafted and people thought I was nuts. While we have a great team, we don't have anyone outside of Gaither that could go top 100 this year.
This is the best team we ever had and I think we haven't seen half of what this team can accomplish this year yet but most of them will not play in the NFL.
I'm pulling for them all but the reality is not one junior on this team should go pro early.
