Column on Oregon's undrafted players

I think players should ignore the advice of anyone who can make money off them going to the NFL.

Otherwise yes coaching changes and simply ready to move on from college life can be factors too.

Interesting thought how the NIL might actually entice a player to STAY in college.

And yes patience is still a virtue!

I hope the players he reached out to will respond.

Re: Column on Oregon's undrafted players

These guys and gals in college are still pups with mature levels of wisdom and discernment still yet to be fully developed.  So many fall prey to the vultures out there or even to their own sense of self-hype with social media.  

That said, I agree with the hope that players can reach out and honestly provide feedback as to why they left.  Did they complete their degrees and are uninterested in pursuing any more education?  Did they hate school and were ready to go regardless of degree progress?  Who told them they were a "lock" to be drafted and how much did that advice cost?
