Juniors and Underclassmen Declare for the NFL Draft
Yes I have drank the Kool-Aid and want to try and understand why 74 juniors, actually 84 if you count graduates, all got hyped up enough to come out early and hope to land that big contract in the NFL.

Coaching Carousel Has Started Its Engine for 2014
