I am not a fan of kids opting out of school for the NFL Draft, but it is a reality, much more so in BB than FB which at least has an age requirement, but these kids in some cases, like Jerome, are just getting bad advice. Yes I get it, these kids in some cases do well by doing so. The #1 pick was an example this year. But out of 102 kids that left for the promise of an NFL carreer, just 39 of 102 were drafted in the first 2 days, coincidentally the same number that went undrafted, yes 39. These agents are like sharks waiting for anyone to stray, and don't try to tell me that these kids haven't directly or indirectly gotten the scope from an agent prior to making that call, it is happening. All to often, it doesn't work out. Jerome should be suiting up for the Orange this year and graduating, even possibly getting some grad course in instead of now being on the outside of evreything looking in. Where is that agent now, think he is returning this young mans calls? Yes, staying all through college doesn't guarantee you an NFL spot, ask Macky about that, but one thing you will have is a degree. So, young men, if you are thinking of bugging out early for the dream, in my book you had better be a solid day 1 & 2 draft pick (you might slip to day 3 and thats ok), otherwise stay in school.
