Players leaving early for the draft

Because he's a pretty talented QB. He just made a weak decision going to play for Gus. That was not a great marriage from the get go.
Stidham will do well throwing against air. He has the look of a QB and a lot of the measurables. He will struggle with pressure and reading defenses. I don't expect him to be successful in the NFL.
Stidham had a decent 1st year at auburn, but this past year was pretty bad. This is not a good draft year for QBs. I don't see any that really standout as future stars.

Murray is committed to football 100 percent. Not a wise decision for him.

Guess he decided he would rather fly first class instead of taking those long bus rides. It is a good problem to have and he can go back to baseball if he sees after a few years it is not going to work out in football.
It really gets my goat that OU got away with this.He basically got a $4 mil + interest free loan for a year so that he could live like a king in college under the guise that he was going to play baseball. It was better than the insurance policy loophole because he could actually spend the millions of dollars...while in college!!! Even the kid (RB) at Ole Miss won't be able to pull this off...
*** I wonder of OU (I mean Murray) has to pay the A's interest back on the loan too?

No idea how he would have done in MLB, but he will probably never see a second contract in the NFL so he needs to hope for an early pick so he can sign a huge first contract, fully guaranteed.
He never got the full $4 million. From the article:
This isn't unusual. It's part of the NCAA model. A player can be professional in one sport while remaining an amateur in another one.
I could be wrong, but didn't the SEC pass a rule stating that players could not have professional contracts?
"This isn't unusual. It's part of the NCAA model. A player can be professional in one sport while remaining an amateur in another one."

Not sure about the specifics. I know Alabama had a walk-on player a couple of years ago that was a former MLB player. Auburn has had a couple, too.
If the Cards take him #1 it would be jaw dropping but definitely the right decision by Kyler.
