Whenever I see a college player who’s mocked top 10 consider returning to school I think of Matt Barkley staying another year and fucking up his shoulder
Barkley was never going to be 1st or even 2nd overall in the same draft that Luck and RGIII were in.
Zinter got hurt, but he wasn’t mocked top 10, and it’s tough to know if any teams will take a guard in the first round.
He missed like 30 million due to the rookie contract changes. Locker is a great example of why you go pro when you can.
Ironically you can throw another USC QB in that mix with Leinart, guy was the sure fire #1 and stayed his Snr year the fell to 10, obviously not a drop like Barkley but still significant at the time.
