Please, anyone but the Eagles. 

Edit: I state this as a  Cowboys fan and lifelong hater of Philadelphia.  I will always support our former players.

Thanks for posting this!  I was just wondering what his draft status was.

Have we heard anything else besides this on him?

 

This is just one persons opinion. Most have him being an undrafted free agent. Here’s hoping his name gets called.

I don’t give a damn where he goes (even the putrid Patriots) as long as he is drafted.

I can guarantee that I have fandom room for the team on which he plays.

What do late round draft picks in the NFL get?  What's their likelihood of making the 53 man roster?  

A better chance at sticking on a roster than a UDFA.

But from a forbes article about last year

"The 4-year minimum base salaries for players in this year's draft are as follows: $465,000 (Year 1), $540,000 (Year 2), $615,000 (Year 3), $690,000 (Year 4).

If eventually signed to a contract, each rookie drafted will get a 4-year deal, whereas undrafted rookies are only eligible for 3-year contracts."

if he gets drafted he can go anywhere, we need to end the drought.

What we need is guys who end up in spots they can have success and not just be a Training camp RB and is then cut.. 

Best would be he gets picked and is in a place to have success

Sometimes it is better to go Undrafted than picked.. Would rather see Jeff go UDFA than in Rd 7, because he can (hopefully) pick the best situation for his potentially.

Well, if you're picking in the 7th you have to see some niche potential in the guy usually anyway, but I generally agree.  He'd theoretically get to pick where he wanted to go as a UDFA, but that also depends on how many offers he'd get.

Very true, but an example I have used and will again is one that most of us fans should be aware of. 

2 years ago, the Dallas Cowboys picked Zeke in RD1 and then took an RB from Eastern Michigan,  Darius Jackson, in RD6. 

The question was asked when the draft was over, why pick Jackson over someone else since the cowboys had Zeke, Morris, DMac? The response was, because we liked him and knew we could not get him as a UDFA because of our depth. He was drafted and put onto the Practice Squad, and only later be signed off the PS by the Cleveland Browns later that year and used sparingly. 

Yes it is great to pitch to recruits we had someone drafted, but UNT needs more active players.. As of now, only 2 UNT players are on Active NFL rosters...

terrill davis went in the sixth round to the broncos and he had great success. If you have the talent you can make anywhere.  

True, but the reason for Davis and his success was the scheme.. just like how it helped multiple other RBs and most recently Alfred Morris.

The 49ers didn't draft an RB and they don't have a lot of big name rb talent on there roster.  He could carve out a spot for himself there if he impresses, which he will.  Good choice.

Great for all three UNT players!

...but the drought continues.

Not saying it's not correct, but why the need to add a negative in on the celebration for these 3?

      True. It doesn’t matter to anyone outside that school. But did you see NIU storm the field to celebrate the 4th down crushing sack of the Fresno quarterback to end the game? Followed by the lifting of the potato mascot into the air? Loved it for those dudes. Hard work paid off with a dramatic win. After learning our bowl destination my Dallas SEC diehards said they wanted to go to the game. So we’ll have the pre fun and post fun time on the 3rd. They attended the Boise Bowl and Cal game too. They are college football 🏈 LSU season ticket holder junkies who look forward to a fun day. I’m in the minority in this thread but I’m glad we play bowl games. I don’t need to see NIU or Fresno again this season but I’m glad it happened. Beat Texas State! GMG

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      This is what the NCAA was trying to stop. But the hypocrisy and greed of everyone else in the sport getting paid a “market rate” while walk-ons got nothing and scholarship athletes were eating ramen noodles in the offseason broke that model. The ONLY rational way forward to get sanity and fairness back with a large healthy FBS would about 80-100 teams coming together and becoming an actual league. No less than 50% of all revenue (not including home ticket sales and merchandise sold on campus) would be shared equally. Lots of other things would have to be done but most of them include cushy fat cat positions going away, and others taking 50% pay cuts. The athletic departments would have to surrender a lot of power to the new league/NCAA along with the revenue sharing. We all know that isn’t happening. And we are on a slow road to College Football regular season ratings going down and playoff ratings going up while it is new. Then after the newness wears off we will have FBS looking more like College Basketball. Dramatically less interest in regular season football with few being familiar with great players outside of Heisman contenders (and/or projected 1st round Quarterbacks).

      Maybe I need to read the article again... Is that saying with revenue sharing coming online there will be a limit to what NIL Collectives can pay? That article seems to suggest that the big money will level out. How is that?
