OT-Cardale Jones likely to enter NFL Draft

You got another one since he just declared he's coming back. I'm shocked.

I'm surprised as well.

Because you said "any job he wanted". Without the degree many companies wouldn't hire him regardless of who he is. Even in Columbus for an OSU player. I didn't say no one would hire him.

Okay, maybe not specialized jobs like engineering or accounting, but sales or finance or some other broad, high dollar job, he would have no problem getting without a degree based on name alone.

passing up an opportunity to be drafted and make more money next year than his family has probably in the last 10-15 years. We'll see what happens with his decision, maybe he's not even the starter next year for OSU.

Got me thinking - when's the last time a potential top 3 round pick returned to college when his starting QB spot wasn't even guaranteed, or even favored?

I'm guessing he knows Miller is leaving, so it's him and Barrett left. Not sure the extent of Barrett's injuries, but is he scheduled to miss spring ball? If so, it might be Jones' job to lose.

Don't underestimate the power of Ohio kids wanting to play for OSU. I guarantee there are kids who would rather sit the bench at OSU than play at any other school. Miller and Jones are Ohio kids, born Buckeye fans and likely most of their friends and family are Buckeye fans. Miller grew up an hour from OSU's campus and Jones 2 hours where he played for Ted Ginn Sr. Not saying it makes any sense but its possible. Its not only possible but Meyer expects it. It'll be interesting no matter what they each decide.
