In case you missed this over on bgsufalcons, here they are. After reading them, it's really weird, but I sort of got a sad/bad feeling for some reason, almost like I was wishing Omar would come back next year because of hearing what he said. Before anyone thinks I am saying I know what he should do with his life in this decision, I'm not saying that at all. What I mean by saying that above is, I thought maybe he was informed he could be a first or second rounder and that's why he was leaving early and I wouldn't blame him. But it appears his stock is nowhere near that level and after being told he was likely to go in the middle rounds, that's lower than I would have expected to hear for him and I figured that would be factors for him to return. I know he can improve that in the combines, team workouts, etc., but after reading this, I almost get the feeling he would have left even if they said sixth or seventh rounds. With another year at BG, I feel certain he could improve on a middle round selection, but we'll never know.
Here were a few quotes that jumped out at me (with a link for all of the quotes below):
(Did you talk with anyone from the NFL?)
"They gave me an evaluation of where they project me to be (drafted), and they told me the middle rounds. The NFL is a dream of mine, and this is an opportunity to pursue my NFL dream."
(So you were willing to go in the middle rounds, instead of waiting another year to see what might happen?)
"Nothing's guaranteed. The evaluation is just an overview of where they project me to go. Nothing is set in stone. Anything can happen. It is hard work, and there is no turning back. I just have to pursue my dream and go full-out."
