Junior Colt McCoy is the Texas Longhorns starting quarterback and if your not familiar with who he is, he’s one hell of a quarterback. McCoy has thrown for over 30 touchdowns and has rushed for more than 10. He leads his team in rushing and really has carried his team to a 11-1 record. McCoy is also in the Heisman race as well, but that’s not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about the fact that he had people check into the NFL and see where he might be drafted if he went pro after this season. If he would be drafted high enough he would enter the draft. Now should the NFL really let something like this happen. Should college kids really be able to find out where they might be drafted and use that information to decide whether to quit school or go pro. The NFL should banish things like this from happening because they should encourage kids to stay in college and finish their schooling. Because that’s really whats important. The NFL will be there next year and you’ll be paid well enough no matter if you wait an extra year or not to be set for life. If players leave early the scholarship they received is lost and some kid that really could have used it doesn’t get one. I think the system that the NFL has in place right now doesn’t work. I’m not saying it’s the worst by no means compared to the NBA and MLB it’s great, but it just needs some work done to it. If at least one thing is changed the NFL should say if a player tests the water to see where he would be in the draft, then they have to go pro. If they do go pro they should have to pay back the college their scholarship so that other students could recieve financial aid. Because in my eyes if your checking out to see where you’d be drafted then you don’t really care about school and you know what your going to do with your life. All they care about is the money, if they won’t be drafted high enough then they probably wont go because the higher they get drafted the more money they will make. In my opinion it just hurts the colleges because the player’s won’t give everything to their teams because they are too worried about the draft. I know this is my opinion and it might seem crazy and I won’t disagree with you. Everybody’s opinion is their own. If you’d like to voice your opinion just leave a comment and I’ll post it. Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed it.
