Will Grier (QB) ... Saints have shown a TON in interest @ Pro Day, personal visit, workout etc. A QB of all positions, skipped out on his Bowl game to prepare for the draft. Should we lump this kid into the "lack heart & dedication aspect" as well?
Circle back 2017 draft ... Chubb, Denzell Ward, Jaire Alexander, Derwin James, Josh Rosens etc all "sat out" of their teams bowl game. Don't think any NFL team is questioning their "desire" at the elite level. Bowl games can still matter (Jake Butt & Jaylon Smith tore ACL's in bowl games) for some and not for others.
As long as there’s millions of dollars worth of guaranteed money for top NFL prospects and a bloated bowl schedule, players skipping bowl games isn’t fading.
