Certainly, I meant one chance to be drafted in the NFL

Once you declare. I’d assume he’s been training and getting tips and training. He could easily not get drafted but La d a free agent deal this year or later. Given his ability and history, it makes sense to try. Question is if he doesn’t get drafted, does he go the CFL route or go to college. At this point though it makes sense he’s pursuing his NFL dreams

A guy with maybe a few dozen D1 offensive snaps might get drafted?

There is no chance he gets drafted unless he runs a 4.2 flat**

I'm very confused.

First of "declare" may not be the right word here because it implies Cole

You've put way too much thought and care into trying to be a mind

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

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

I guess we'll see just how serious Cole is about a pro track career.

I’m not sure he’ll even get a shot as a free agent.
