Comments on: Juniors cooking up an early exit to NFL? http://blogs.thestateonline.net/jperson/2008/11/24/juniors-cooking-up-an-early-exit-to-nfl/ The State newspaper’s Gamecock beat writer blogs on USC football Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:39:55 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: S.C.01 http://blogs.thestateonline.net/jperson/2008/11/24/juniors-cooking-up-an-early-exit-to-nfl/comment-page-1/#comment-6375 S.C.01 Thu, 27 Nov 2008 14:40:42 +0000 http://jperson.thestateonline.com/?p=142#comment-6375 As history has shown the average career in the NFL is less than 5 seasons,I say graduate first after all you were given a free education why not take full advantage of all that you have been given, you never know what may happen and if you are worried about an injury go and get an insurance policy thats based on the value of your draft projection chances are if your projected as a second or third round pick this season you will be an even higher pick next season and you will have your education to fall back on if needed just take a look around at all of the ex NFL players that are in financial trouble. What ever you decide to do I want to say thank you for coming to S.C. we have enjoyed watching you play.

On the other hand, if I was a relative of the players, my advice would be to take the money and run. I imagine that the players will be more attentive to the advice of their family than that of their fans. Whatever they decide, I want to thank them for three years of hard work and determined effort. I can only hope that we are fortunate enough to continue to recruit students of their caliber. The only other thing I would ask of them is to BEAT CLEMSON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where do you see these projections? I have read a few and haven't found any mentioning E.Cook. “Most of the projections I found of E-Cook had the Gamecocks’ leading tackler (two years running) going in the second round.”

But a quick review of J Cook's career would leave them at just that, possibilities. And to describe him as a beast is a bit of an over statement. How many plays has J Cook been directly involved in that bring instant memories? Auburn two years ago? I agree he has the "potential" but it certainly is not proven.

Best of luck to these fine young men with any decision they should make. I AGREE 100% Tally Ho Says:
