It?s embarrassing to say that you?ve been told or realized that your football playing days are numbered. When you know there is a younger player or a transfer about to take your spot a lot of these guys don?t want the embarrassment of going to the bench. So instead they ?declare for the draft.? We know and they probably know in their heart of hearts they aren?t going to get drafted but that?s not as embarrassing as getting benched on the college level. That?s my theory.
He was going to be a starter next year. Nobody was taking his spot.
