CBS Mock Draft has Cross going 5th overall
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/...ed-in-round-1/
Also, Coral the 1st QB taken and in the top 10 over Pickett
Hard for me to see Burks being the 3rd WR taken- but we'll see

But he's selfish for letting his team down in the Memphis Bowl...*

What's ironic is Corral is actually playing with his team.

Who was the running back in the early 2000s who tore his knee in a bowl game? He was either from Miami or OhState. Yeah if you're a 1st or 2nd rd pick you sit out the Liberty Bowl and every other bowl except a NY6 one. And Google says Mcgahee.

If the reasoning for sitting out of a bowl game is to minimize risk of injury then why would it matter what bowl it is? I've never understood that argument and imo it's very hypocritical.

Willis McGahee - tore his ACL, PCL and MCL. Still went 1st round to Buffalo and had a 10 year NFL career.
You can get injured anytime - just ask Robert Edwards, who destroyed his knee at a Rookie Flag Football game on the beach at the Pro-Bowl. Almost lost his leg.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

The chances of severe injury are so minuscule loyalty to your team weighs a ton heavier. Sitting out your final game of your collegiate year unless a NY6? Naw. Hell Naw. Leach is correct. What's next; just skip the egg bowl too?

So the Sugar Bowl makes putting his health at risk worth it? It's not a play off game this season. It's just another bowl.

I've said this before and have to say it again.
Most of us grew up fans of Miss State- going to games, listening on the radio...etc. Wearing the maroon and white with love.
Most of these players view college as a necessary stop on their way to the NFL. They feel the way about the NFL the way we do about college. Cross has achieved his goal- use his college time to get to The League. It's about getting paid- not playing in a meaningless bowl game thats for the fans and Seniors that have no chance to play again.

In my mind, he has not fully fulfilled his obligation to the university for receiving a scholarship!!

I wish Cross would consider Will's predicament without him. I just cannot agree with these cop-opt outs.

Yeah, but the guys that have redshirted or sat third team and barely played, definitely did their part.
What should be happening is our coach should be out front of this and should have said that he wouldn't let Cross play and wanted to start giving some reps to younger guys. That is how much Leach cares about these kids and their future in the NFL.
Would have been received a little better than his current position.

Chance of getting injured in National championship = chance of getting hurt in Liberty bowl.
But some games are more important than others and the risk is worth it to some.

But the Sugar Bowl is not an important playoff game this year.

Jaylon Smith lost about 20 million dollars for choosing to play in the Fiesta Bowl. I doubt that douchebag in Baton Rouge has sent him a check.
I don't see how anyone can begrudge a 21 year old who isn't getting paid, while his coaches are making millions, sits out a meaningless bowl game to make sure that his future is secured.
