Tracking the underclassmen: Close to 40% go undrafted

This article mentions Nick Saban. so be prepared to feel pangs of anger. But it does reveal that close to 40% of the players who left school early did not get drafted, which leaves them in limbo of perhaps not even getting a tryout from NFL teams. Nobody from the current Big Ten is included, although Rutgers WR Brandon Coleman is on the list.

Hit the jump for Candice Swanepoel, especially picture #2.

  2. From above: "But it does reveal that close to 40% of the players who left school early did not get drafted"

    But then from the linked article: "Half of the first-round picks, including the top four and six of the top 10, were underclassmen. Eighteen came off the board in the second round."

    That's quite a contrast, isn't it? It probably explains why so many underclassmen come out ... they're taking a gamble in the hopes they score. It works for some, but not for a lot of others. I suspect someone is encouraging these kids to take their chances. Some of that advice is probably reasonable; but some must be just bad advice.

    1. Right. If you aren't a sure fire draft pick like that big clown from SC or Manziel, it'd be a good idea to invest another year for a higher pick. As for guys who leave early and not get drafted... I don't know what to say. At least get your degrees.

  3. Nice backside, but I prefer ladies with more "up top". Personal preference and all. :P
