am sure he signed something to get to run around the Cowboys facility in a Cowboys uniform...



This plus the new SEC rules added a layer about “not properly withdrawing from the draft” - so even by their own standards he wouldn’t be eligible



Yeah, I saw that too. But it appears (not just in this case) that the SEC is overlooking that for this class and focusing on the signed contract and appeared on a roster part. The guys who went to minicamp for tryouts do not get added to the roster and probably sign a waiver but not a contract.

Junior Tuihalamaka is also one of those guys, and Lane said today that he is on the team, though he is not listed on the roster on LSUsports.net when I check 30 minutes ago.

As stupid as it is this guy is technically eligible since he never signed a contract or declared for the draft
This is not a stupid rule, we all know the difference between NFL rookie mini camp and training camp. When a player contributes in training camp, they immediately get 25 upgrade points on Madden and in real life, but they don’t get that in rookie mini-camp. Which is why them coming back to college is so controversial.

You can’t step on an NFL practice field without signing a variety of forms, to cover liability, insurance, medical release forms in case of injury, getting a history of previous medical issues, comprehensive medical exam, etc. so he certainly put his name on paper.

So here is a question: if a college underclassman works out for an NFL team but doesn’t declare for the draft, is he still eligible?? Only if he plays for Texas????

It appears this guy wasn't drafted and didn't sign a contract. He did attend tryouts / preseason camps.


He signed an undrafted free agent contract. He was paid by the Cowboys to attend preseason camp.

He is, by every known definition, a professional football player.
