Cole beck just declared for the NFL draft. Curious to see if a team takes.

A guy with maybe a few dozen D1 offensive snaps might get drafted?
marcbvtgm • 01/04/24 11:47 AM ET
There is no chance he gets drafted unless he runs a 4.2 flat**

He’s also declared for the ‘24 Olympic Trials. If I’m him, take a shot at

Hey, it’s Cole to try. You get one chance to try

Yes, but they are not considered officially apart of the roster though and
VTHokie2000 • 01/04/24 10:04 AM ET
I'm very confused.
Pride_and_Joy • 01/04/24 10:28 AM ET
First of "declare" may not be the right word here because it implies Cole
VTHokie2000 • 01/04/24 11:45 AM ET
You've put way too much thought and care into trying to be a mind

If you don't want to know the answer to your question, then you shouldn't

Correct, NCAA eligibility is affected by declaring, school enrollment is

Since he exhausted his eligibility, I wonder if "declaring" was incorrectly

I think "declaring" and "entering" are used in the same manner but all

You are right. I just notice the reporters seem to use "enter" more with

I guess we'll see just how serious Cole is about a pro track career.
VTHokie2000 • 01/03/24 09:18 PM ET
I’m not sure he’ll even get a shot as a free agent.

0.0 chance he gets drafted. 0.0 chance he makes a 53 man. 0.0 chance he

Did he play any snaps for VT this year?
