Not you opinion... but that actual definition by the SEC "rules" of an NFL player?

The commissioner can’t. He’s already proven that by his remarks in court.

Has this skank defined it? Maybe she can

A player that has done any of the following

1) declared for the draft
2) signed an NFL contract
2) Participated in training camp

Seems like a pretty easy thing to define. But some people like trying to muddy the water like leftists who can’t define what a woman is

So Stankey Leg doesn't know what the 5 for 5 rules is, and doesn't know what makes a player an NFL player or not. No wonder other SEC schools have NFL players on their rosters.

So ANY of the following?? OK so going undrafted means you must have declared for said draft... right??

Just making sure and as long as the rules are known and applied across the board.... great.

I guess no OL guy for Texas. What your kicker USCe?

Time to jump back in school and declare for the NFL draft so I can say I'm an NFL player.

Thanks Henry Jones Jr.

This needs to be clarified to: “declared for or automatically entered the draft due to expiration of eligibility.”

No. Was asked for the definition. That's your definition.

Were these guys paid by contract to play on NFL teams? Yes.

According to your definition, I could sit on a bench for five years. Never play in a game and come back and play college football.

If Aaron Murray had eligibility left, he could still play college football.

That's stupid.

If everyone knew what was gonna happen, the SEC would've just said no one declaring for the draft can return. The NCAA kept losing these cases. Texas and some others took guys that did the mini camps, signed waiver clauses, etc. Wish they hadn't.

Then your coach decided, "Hell, let's push it even further. Sombody's gonna do it. Might as well be us. These players will beat the NCAA, too." Finally the SEC school admins had had enough, met with Sankey and said we need to stop this.

You guys didn't want to stop though. Well your prez. did, but he got silenced quick and you let everyone know your coach called the shots. So we're here.

Don't forget about Ethan Sanchez for uscE... that declared for the draft and therefore, Henry Jones Jr, is an NFL player.

Be mad and hate LSU, but nobody should act as if they were the only team exploring this option.

So some 5th string NAIA player can declare himself eligible for the NFL Draft and brag to all his friends that he was an “NFL player”.

2) signed an NFL contract


So…..like the 14 year old Saints fan with chronic liver disease?

2) Participated in training camp


So like Will Ferrell, Billy Crystal and every other celebrity that has ever participated in a spring training game?
