The question is, is the NFL practicing a form of age discrimination against him? I think they are and they are also, in fact, limiting his right to earn a living. They may claim that they want to "protect" him but to me that sounnds like BS. Him bypassing the NCAA will result in the weakening of college football which is nothing but a farm system for the NFL. Him getting to the NFL early means that fewer jobs are available which means expansion and/or dilution of the league.
Sorry the NFL is a private organization and they can set the rules in who to take and not to take. Also there is no right to earn a living.

Didn't the NBA lose a similar case around 10-15 years ago?
