Sorry about my absence guys. Like Matt said, I withdrew from the draft about three weeks ago. I know most people won't agree with my decision, no matter the explanation, but I'm going to try anyways......
Without going into too much detail, I play a large role in taking care of my grandparents, especially my grandmother. While I've been away at workouts, meetings, etc., my family has struggled to stay on top of things. After our official pro-day, I was pretty much told that I will not get drafted, and would be a longshot to make an NFL roster. In fact, one not-so-nice scout called it a pipe-dream. I don't care about what they think honestly, but it did play a major role in my withdrawl. I was willing to have my family struggle for a couple months if it meant me making an NFL roster, and then being able to send them money back to get on top of things. On the flip side, what happens if I'm invited to camp, I spend 4 months from now until finals cuts in August in another city, and come back with nothing to show for it? I would have let my family fall apart for nothing. Thats a chance I wasn't willing to take honestly. They have fought so hard for so long to get to where they are, I'd hate to be the one to ruin it because of my selfish wants.
Anyways, I hope you all understand why I withdrew. I apologize I didn't tell you all when I was doing it. I knew if I did there would have been several posts telling me why I shouldn't do it, and I didn't want to deal with having to explain myself over and over again......
