re: Why cant draft prospects return to school if they dont get drafted?

Even if a guy doesn't get drafted, he will have signed with an agent.


What's more, even after he doesn't get drafted he will most likely sign as Udfa and believe me.....he will get every chance to show what he's worth.

NFL teams don't have to pay him as much since he was undrafted but he still wants a job. They will evaluate him just as much as any draftee to see if they can all play or not.

If an undrafted guy proves to be better in camp than the drafted guy, he s staying anyway. So he's fully immersed in the nfl.



Should the rule be changed? Sure but that's another question.
