Ftn49 132 Posted June 4 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/06/03/ncaa-lets-undrafted-arizona-state-punter-return-to-college-football/ So many possible repercussions from this... If it becomes a standard thing, is it only for the undrafted? If the drafted are allowed to come back how much will that piss off the nfl? Does it evolve into an NHL type draft where the pro teams draft a guy and then he plays in the minors/college until he is ready to sign his pro contract?

Tetsujin 610 Posted June 4 It could be a mess, recruiting-wise, if players were allowed to come back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scalamania 751 Posted June 4 I'm actually surprised more players haven't tried to go the same route considering all the restrictions caused by COVID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smokeybandit 58 Posted June 7 How many undrafted players *want* to come back to school. I'm guessing not many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't get signed and have the opportunity to go back, boost your stock, and get drafted the next year you'd be an idiot to not take the opportunity. I could see staying in the NFL if you were signed as an UDFA, but his situation would just put him on the street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smokeybandit 58 Posted June 11 My point being most guys that leave early yet go undrafted were probably done with being a college student anyway for one reason or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you’re wrong. I think they get bad intel and decide to take their chances at the NFL prematurely. I think at least 80% of undrafted players would go back, if given the opportunity.

As far as Turk, wasn't he like a R-SO? Maybe he didn't complete his degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady Slim 1,272 Posted June 22 good corollary of this becoming normalised could be more guys finishing their degree and getting insurance in case they don't make the league too so they won't fall off the rails and can still go on to live their best life which is objectively a societal good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
