I'm not talking players with injuries. I'm talking about healthy players who skip College Bowl games and let their team down in a Big Game. That is a Character Issue. These type players, the Bengals don't need. These are not true Madden type Football players if they let their College teammates down by skipping a Bowl Game the others worked so hard to get to. If they are not Rose Bowl or Bowl Game players, what makes anyone think they are Super Bowl players.
NFL Owners, GMs, Coaches should put a giant check mark next to all healthy players who skip the college Bowl Games, as having a Character Issue. I am not talking about things like The Senior Bowl, because those are not their teammates the last few years. As they skip Bowl Games to save themselves for the NFL Draft, they let their college teammates down and show they are selfish players, not team players.
Joe Burrow was a team player in his college bowl games, for example.
So, your plan is to not draft the talented, smart guys? Good plan!
Bowl games are meaningless money grabs save for the CFP. The players get that. Some fans seem a bit behind.
For guys whi are going to play next year in college, who are not gonna get drafted, or are low level prospects (not risking big money), or who want to roll the dice and try to improve their draft stock, play on.
But for those who are locked into making millions if they are healthy in the spring, sitting out is the smart move.
