I totally agree with you that if he didn’t get hurt and he also had a great MAC championship & bowl game performances I think that makes his decisions fairly easy to declare for the draft. With the injury he’s going to have to prove certain things during the draft process. He isn’t going to blow anyone away during the combine because that’s just not the type of player he is. Those events are for guys that look good in shirts & shorts. Jaret is a football player and I feel like the combine would do him a disservice. I personally also feel like with all those uncertainty he should still leave. The difference between this situation and Tyree’s is the position they play. You don’t want to come back and put another 300 carries on your body that I actually feel like decreases your value with the shelve life running backs have. Go to the NFL even if he ends up getting drafted in day 2/3(a steal for any team) his performance ultimately will get him his second contract even if he ends up sliding in the draft. We’ve seen recently during the draft that RB’s from any rounds can make an immediate impact and get more chances to show what they can do unlike the QB position. I see both sides, if I was advising him I would tell him to declare for the draft and if he is good enough he will find a home and get paid eventually.
