I have no problem with players leaving school early to test their ability to make it in the NFL. But that comes with one qualification -- that they players conduct the necessary due diligence to best understand their potential for actually being picked to play at the next level.

Will the very high drafting of Nick Bosa and Ed Oliver affect future college players completing their junior years?

Yes, players will go chase the money and not stay in school, risking injury.

No, only the most elite will leave for the draft. The others will stay and get another year of development.

I think it’s going to be similar to NCAA basketball players with the 1 and done rule. Some football players will be ready, some won’t, but with the hopes of multimillion dollar contracts it’s hard to turn down the opportunity.

before the NCAA rules to keep players in college we saw a large amount of athletes going pro right off the bat. I think once players see other players finding success early on, more will follow.
