Wish him all the best but I don’t understand why guys like him and Carl Tucker declare for the draft when they have zero chance of getting drafted. Do they have to declare officially to get an UDFA tryout?

I mean UDFA means Undrafted free agent

. I'm guessing but I am pretty sure the NFL would frown on guys trying to circumvent the draft process whether they are likely to be drafted or not.

Because they have college degrees - in McMillon's case a masters degree - and they're like 23-24 years old. They've played several years of college football. I'm sure they understand that their careers are likely over and getting onto an NFL roster will be an uphill battle, but they're probably just ready to get on to the next stage of life.

I think it's more of they are ready to move on with life. McMillan I believe has an Engineering degree and I'm sure will do very well there. Playing another year at Alabama isn't going to do anything for him or Tucker in terms of their NFL stock.
