Even in the closing minutes of Saturday's NFL draft, Lestar Jean still believed he might get chosen.
That thought was more than just wishful thinking from a player envisioning and NFL career.
As the seventh round unfolded, Jean said he received calls from Seattle and Miami representatives informing him that their clubs were considering him for their final pick.
Both teams, however, passed on the former FAU wide receiver.
“I'm not mad,” said Jean (photo by Ralph Notaro). “I was expecting to be a free agent.”
In a normal year, being a free agent wouldn't be a worst case scenario. Jean could try to match his talents to the team that could use them the most. That's not the case this year – at least not yet.
