What is this guy thinking? He would be the top pick or top 3 pick in the draft. He would’ve made around 30-60 million of guaranteed money and has already accomplished nearly everything a player of his caliber could. Instead he’s risking it all to stay at Oklahoma.

Look, Bradford doesn’t hide the fact that he wants to be a pro and that’s it has been a dream of his but he is one hit away from having this all go away. He’s one hit away from not playing again and he’s one loss away from serious regret. When I say one loss away it is because if he loses next season at Oklahoma and they don’t win the national title then he has wasted the only logical reason he can use for coming back to play. That one I understand, but not enough to turn down money that can set generations of family up for life.

Sam Bradford is a great talent and will be a very good quarterback in the nfl but Matt Leinart was also. Leinart was sure to come out and be a top pick in the draft a few years ago. His team was coming off a title and he decided to come back for some odd reason. He would’ve gone number 1 to the 49ers instead of Alex Smith but instead he had a good senior season and slipped in the draft to the Cardinals where he has yet to lock down a starting job. By not coming out Leinart cost himself millions of guaranteed money and I know he regrets it to some degree.

Unless Bradford wins the title for OU then I know he’ll experience the same feelings.
