I was under the impression Morris had his own guy from the portal.

This is not news Vito! He already was entering the NFL draft.

Just saw a discussion on Facebook where the consensus was that Stetson Bennett (quarterback of the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs who guided his team back to the championship game) is too old for the NFL because he is…drumroll please…26.

I hope him the best.

What did I miss? The edited post @TheReal_jayD put up an hour ago shows he clearly is not coming back so why all the whining before then?

Shhh!  It gives Vito a chance to rerun a previous article.

He took his name out of the portal which was the original topic. A couple hours later he officially announced declaring for the draft and the topic was edited to reflect that.

Should I look forward to new weekly updates on Aune, with new variations on the same old "he's gone" theme?

Nah, he officially declared. He's gone.

He can officially declare he's the number one pick, he's still eligible for college ball as long as he avoids an agent.

So he pulled his name out of the portal and then……

Hearing he is headed to draft. 

As a coach?   Seriously, a 29-year-old new NFL QB?   

He has some tools, but age and stats are not on his side:  

Passing yds ~ 7,400,  TDs=56,  Int=28

Will you forgive Seth for his handling of our QB’s if Aune is our starter next season?

Honestly knowing the NFL. He will prolly be drafted in day 3 just for the story.

Do you ridicule everyone who buys a lotto ticket as well? Officially declaring for the NFL Draft does not mean you expect to be taken, it means you are officially ending your amateur/collegiate eligibility. For all the “haters” out there, this seems to be his way of letting you know you don’t have to worry about him qb’ing your favorite team next year.

Starting off with AA jokes.

I agree. Somebody will use an extra 6th or 7th rounder on him, especially being a QB. Low risk, high reward. Plus, these guys are playing into their late 30s now. He may be 29 but his football age is much younger. If he ends up being a serviceable backup, nobody will care about age.

For me, I'll be rooting for him and his family. We've been clamoring for more UNT players in the NFL. I'm not going to crap on Aune just because he had some frustrating moments playing for our team.

Thanks for explaining that.
