Let's not forget about the Mississippi State players that played in the Canadian Football League and Indoor Football League.
Those pros don’t count though.

This is just about LSU, no one else. Don’t you realize that? Everyone else can do it except Lane.

So not 15-1?

The CBA extends all the way down to Rookie Mini Camp.
And covers union members. If you are not on an NFL roster you cannot be a member of the NFLPA. That is why players not signed to an UDFA contract must submit a request to attend a minicamp, and the team can either grant the request or deny it. If they were covered by the CBA the team could not deny them access to the minicamp.
quote:Just to be clear...your belief is if you are never on an NFL roster you are still an NFL player?
That means every player who attended one of those camps in an NFL player, or none of them are.

Neither have Harris and Wright.
Harris and Wright actually were on an NFL roster. They were both waived. You cannot waive a player who was never on your roster.
quote:It is, and I am enjoying this, but will have to leave shortly. I don't mean to get people mad. I just want to learn and make people think. There is so much bad information out there and claims being made based off what they hear, and not based on facts. When I get into a discussion like this it makes me go look for information, and that, in turn, makes me learn.
You seem level headed, so it’s actually fun discussion.
I enjoyed talking to you, and again....I apologize if I riled you guys up. It's just one way I force myself to learn, and dispel some misconceptions. There are several LSU fans I enjoy talking to because even though we might disagree, we can do it respectfully.
I am pretty saturated and tired of this subject, so I will probably PROBABLY move on to other subjects.
Thanks for you patience and for talking.

By accepting the request, and the players signing the agreement, they are now covered under the CBA.
If you don’t want to be a part of the NFL, don’t ask to try out.

Personally, I think anyone who tries to make an NFL roster has surrendered their ability to return to college. That includes requesting a “try out”.
My personal feelings don’t matter though. The law says they weren’t ever actually a part of the NFL.

Training camp participants aren’t on any official roster.

Dawgs, if the SEC would have been able to define "professional" as you have in this thread...then maybe the outcome would have been different. But that was the problem...they could not define it even after being asked several times to do so. Too much grey area!

A player who goes through camp and is not offered a contract is not an NFL player. Just like college students who try out as walk ons but don’t make the team aren’t college players.

CLAYTON, Mo. (CN) — A St. Louis County judge on Wednesday handed the University of Missouri football team its first unofficial win of the season, before a single down has been played, by granting a temporary restraining order allowing Sterling Webb to play for the Tigers.
Well, at least the heat is off of LSU.

Odd take. He was never on the Buffalo Bills roster.
LSU is not trying to play anyone who was ever on an NFL roster either.
Hmm.

Not in court yesterday. The whole thing got picked apart and Sankey contradicted himself and could not answer basic questions about words and definitions they are trying to use to enforce their rules.
Good thing it was already in writing.

They should be expelled just for the sake of expelling them.

So he’s in the same category as Hudson.
