Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 1383341, member: 39"] "Most people" may have thought that, but clearly not the people that mattered. And if I was watching college football (which I do, from time to time) and somebody asked me about Durell Eskridge, I'd say he is an average safety on a bad team in a great conference. And going undrafted is what most average safeties on bad teams in a great conference do. You mention Hickey in a previous post. He was a 5th year senior. He didn't have a choice to come out this year or not. Eskridge had another year of eligibility. Huge difference. Again, not trying to kill the kid. He made a decision and he felt it was best for him. I'm not going to sit here and say I know everything in the kid's life, but in terms of future earnings potential as it relates to football, it was not the optimal move. And I could have made that call in November. [/QUOTE]
