Randall Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) McCoy decides to leave Panthers By Joe Schad ESPN.com Pittsburgh running back LeSean McCoy confirmed he will enter the NFL draft. "You never know what could happen," McCoy said Wednesday. "I just want to take care of my family." McCoy said his NFL research showed he may be the second running back off the board in the first round, behind Georgia's Knowshon Moreno. "I'm shifty," McCoy said. "I can make you miss. I can do a lot of things. I got a good report. I love Pitt, but this is a great opportunity." McCoy, a sophomore who is draft-eligible because he attended prep school for a year, had said in November 2008 that he was returning to Pitt for his junior season. Even as late as Jan. 5, Panthers coach Dave Wannstedt said McCoy had told him he was staying. However, McCoy and his family met with Wannstedt late last week, when McCoy informed his coach he would finalize his decision during the weekend. ___ McCoy is eligible for the draft because has been out of high school for three years. He played the 2006 season at a prep school after seriously injuring his right ankle during his senior season at Bishop McDevitt High School in 2005. The major injury -- a bone broke through the skin of McCoy's leg while he was on the field -- required extensive rehabilitation and apparently helped sway McCoy's decision. After he was hurt, a number of major colleges backed off recruiting him. "As a result of a season-ending injury my senior year, I learned a humbling lesson," McCoy said. "Nothing is promised to us and it can all be taken away in a moment." Edited January 14, 2009 by Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 That plus in 2010 I believe there will be a rookie salary cap??? I could be wrong though. Yea, they've talked about this being the last year before they try to fix it. I'd be looking to get in now if I were them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 ...the NFL will not initiate a salary cap for rookies until at least 2011... Aha. Thanks for clearing that up. So NEXT year, we will see a mass exodus of underclassmen to the NFL. Hmmmmm...I better start hoarding those 2010 draft picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
