Marcus Lattimore to enter the NFL draft?

[101stDad]

It's a gamble either way. 

Going now he likely loses millions, as his draft position will without a doubt fall drastically.

If he comes back to South Carolina and doesn't have a good year his draft position will fall drastically. 

Guess he figures he had better take what money he can get now, and gamble that he will perform well enough to garner a big contract down the road. 

I really feel for him.  He's a great player, and by all accounts a very good person, who just never has been able to get a positive break since he arrived in Columbia. 

Perhaps a victim of the Chicken Curse?  (this line posted very much tongue in cheek)

Big Mistake,but,I'd like the Falcons to take a shot on Him. The Falcons need a replacement for Michael Turner,He's shot

Well, I've heard he has a 18-24 month recovery.  He's probably hoping for a repeat of the McGahee scenario where he gets drafted, sits on IR for a year and then starts his NFL career

I think it makes sense. He can get paid to rehab. Sure his first contract will be low, but with the cap his second should be fine. Besides, he wasn't going to see the field next year anyway.
