Who wants to be drafted by the Detroit Lions?

Shoot give me a couple million signing bonus and it makes it that much better.

Quarterbacks don't have to worry about the Lions drafting them. The receivers do. Four of the last six first round picks have been receivers.

Wait...So who's throwing the ball?? Nevermind. I get it.  ;D

I just think they wanted to personally ensure that LSU doesnt win a championship next year.    ;)

Remember the date and time you said that.  I think they'll make a strong run next year, even if Tebow and Bradford stay.

As for the original post, I can't understand why they didn't go.  I mean college is fun, but more fun than the NFL?  Maybe Bradford wants to win an NC, which makes sense, but what more does Tebow want to accomplish in college football?  He has 2 titles, 2 SEC titles, and a Heisman.  Give yourself a new challenge kid.

Perhaps he wants to be only the second person EVER to win two heisman trophys  :-/

Perhaps Tebow and Bradford want to earn a college degree.  Not an unusual aspiration for someone attending college.

Most NFL talent scouts don't consider Tebow as having NFL 'game' anyway.

Now, if some team committed to running the wildcat offense most of the time....he'd be perfect for that.

Except Archie Griffin already won two heismans, a long time ago.  This year, Tebow could have been the first player to win back to back heismans, but not the first to win two.

As far as getting a college degree goes, you can always go back and get your degree later, if things don't work out in the NFL.  If you come back for another year of college football, you are opening up the possibility of a career ending injury before ever making any money from football.  Matt Mauck, the QB from LSU's 2003 championship team, had the option of dental school or the NFL.  He went to the NFL with the Broncos and later the Titans, it didn't work out, and is now enrolled in dental school at University of Colorado.

Tebow would like to go to medical school.

Bradford wants a National Championship.

Plus the fact that college can be the best five or six years of your life.

Get that degree, guys.  Get that degree.  ;)

atx-I clearly said the second person in my post. I knew about Archie Griffin. And like mentioned earlier I don't think Tebow's game is NFL like and I'm not real sure that's what he wants to do anyway.

You're right I misread it.  Apologies.

Anyway, if it were me, I'd go to the draft and take the money as soon as possible.  I've hurt myself enough doing everyday things that I know how easily you can get hurt on the field.  College will always be there.

Tiger left Stanford to go to the PGA.  I'm not sure he ever second guesses that decision.

Anyway, who are we to critique a decision that we will never have to make?  Both of those guys will be big time players at the next level when they decide to go.

Detroit Loins 2008 record 0-16

It's a joke son, it's a joke ;)

FYI Matt Mauck when into the NFL with one intention to make enough money to open a dental business since he already had his degree.

Either way, I'm just glad I got to watch Adrian Peterson and Sam Bradford play all their home games in person. Wow is about all I can say.

OU boosters are paying better than current NFL salaries.
