Who doesn’t yearn to compete for a championship? To earn the MVP, to excel and leave it all on the field?
THIS GUY.... Quiter and loser are attached to your name Njigba.
What is the name of the Brown feller, who had great talent with a 50 cent head. Oh YEAH, his name was Brown.
I guess 5 receptions for 43 yds now qualifies a player as a football star?
And why is this news? The team doctors have not cleared this kid to play, so it’s not like they were missing him much.
Someone needs to have a heart to heart with this kid and tell him his chances of making the NFL are pretty slim, but some kids do make it.
I’m thinking 5th-7th. He needs to get healthy to even get an invite to the Combine.
Probably the Texans! Hahahaha
His health has absolutely nothing to do with receiving a Combine invitation- zilch. He will receive a combine invite- 1000%. The latest he goes in a weak WR class is 3rd.
The school purchases a loss of value policy on players. NIL money does not come close to comparing to an NFL contract.
Oklahoma offered offensive tackle Anton Harrison an NIL deal which would’ve paid him $500K next year. Harrison will be no worse than the 40th pick of the draft and could sneak into the first round. The 40th pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, Boye Mafe, signed a $8.5 million contract with $6.3 million in guaranteed money.
“Someone needs to have a heart to heart with this kid and tell him his chances of making the NFL are pretty slim, but some kids do make it.”
Lemme guess- you scout for the Detroit Lions?
I ask myself that question every day.
I liked to play football, baseball and racquetball, unfortunately I never excelled, but I still liked to play. So a bunch of us 30 year olds started an intermural league of flag football. On offense I was guarding against a former Oklahoma running back, the ball was snapped and he was by me like I was standing still. What an athlete!
But consider, he was nowhere good enough for the NFL, what gifts God must give these guys. So I like to watch football admiring the athleticism of these guys. How can the NFL quarterbacks just stand there with a 300 pound freight train coming to run him over, deliver a pass while getting creamed, way beyond what I can do.
So I like to watch them play exploiting their gifts, unfortunately the self centered attitudes has destroyed my enjoyment of watching pro football, and now college seems to be following.
That said, there were superstars of college football that I still admire, Jalen Hurts went all out to support the team, he is the only player’s name I would wear on a jersey.
