The petitions must be super easy because I’m scrolling thru the 2019 draft and tons of guys were in college only 3 years via playing 3 or 2 plus a redshirt.
Sean Shaw Jr flew under the recruiting radar
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
I forgot about TJ being a RS sophomore. I thought at least at one time the NFL shied away from letting RS sophomores go unless extenuating circumstances but evidently that isn't true.
Daniel Jackson was selected to play in the Jan. 4th All American game in San Antonio. Just keeps getting brighter.
I think you don't know how it works and should probably stop posting before making yourself look any dumber. Redshirt sophomores declare quite a bit
NFL Draft rules:
<<PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for the draft, players must have been out of high school for at least three years and must have used up their college eligibility before the start of the next college football season. Underclassmen and players who have graduated before using all their college eligibility may request the league’s approval to enter the draft early.
Players are draft-eligible only in the year after the end of their college eligibility.
Before the draft, NFL Player Personnel staff members confirm the eligibility of draft prospects; that means researching the college backgrounds of approximately 3,000 college players each year. They work with NCAA compliance departments at schools across the country to verify the information for all prospects. They also check the rosters of college all-star games to make sure that only draft-eligible players play in the games.
The Player Personnel staff also review all of the applications submitted by players who want to enter the draft early. Underclassmen have until seven days following the NCAA National Championship Game to declare their intentions to do so. For the 2017 NFL Draft, 106 undergraduates received NFL approval to enter the draft, as did 13 players who graduated without using up all their college eligibility.
Once players have become draft-eligible or have declared their intention to enter the draft early, the Player Personnel staff work with teams, agents and schools to clarify the players’ status. They also work with agents, schools, scouts and teams to enforce league rules for Pro Days (where NFL scouts come to colleges to observe prospects) and private workouts.
During the draft, Player Personnel staff confirm that all players who are drafted are draft-eligible.>>

Charlie is at least getting noticed by NFL draft-niks. Thor does good work on Rotoworld and had this to say before the season even started:
I DM’d an NFL agent about Iowa State TE Chase Allen back in May. He didn’t want to talk about Allen, he wanted to talk about his teammate Charlie Kolar: “All three of [ISU’s] TEs will at very least be on a 90, possibly all make a 53,” he responded. “Kolar may be a more complete TE [than Chase Allen] actually." …

For sure. Keep that talent pool coming in! He'll be intriguing. Just gotta continue to up that offensive line!
I think Lang is a great back, but given the talent of Hall and Brock, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he transfers out at the end of the year
Is it just me or has Shaw visibly put on more muscle from the start of the season until now? I feel like I noticed his arms looking a lot more bulky than when we first saw him
I'd bet on Lang staying. His circumstances didn't give him a lot of options. That builds loyalty. If he's getting touches I think he'll stay.
I was in a bad mood last night after the chiefs/chargers over didn’t hit. I didn’t mean to take it out on you
If he's a smart guy, he'd see what happened to Tua last weekend and know that he's always one play away from devastating injury. If anybody has a good draft profile and they stay in school they are foolish but that's just me.
That’s the thing. He’s a really really, smart guy—and may decide that an NFL career may not be worth the risk of concussions.
I had a buddy a few years back who was offered a million dollar salary as he finished his PhD in a niche specialty. No injury risk there—but he did like to race motorcycles.
He's on award lists and such but Kolar is kind of a best kept secret type it seems.
Hard to say Kolar is underused when he's putting up the kind of numbers he is as a TE. He was getting a lot of attention in the middle of the field against Texas, and it seemed like Purdy was opting to go outside because of it. Defenses know that he's often Purdy's first read.
It wouldn’t surprise me with Kolar being a genius that he is likely close to graduating already
One more year with Brock and he’s a 1st rounder and Brock will be heisman candidate throwing to a Mackey winner
