Redshirt don't work like that. If he blows out his knee in week 5 or later, he can't redshirt, it's essentially done. At this point, being undrafted is a better situation so he can pick where he wants to go
Scooby never took a redshirt year. He had one coming. Maybe had he stayed they would have applied for it his junior year but as of the time he left school, he had a redshirt year coming.

When was the last time we had a player picked in the first 3 rounds of the draft... Foles? And before that... Gronk?
The lack of elite talent this program has had is depressing.
Any guesses who the next player selected in the first 2 days of the draft draft? Is he in the program yet? If Nick Wilson were to stay heathy for an entire season I think he is the only player that has a chance.

Michael Eletise would be my guess. Maybe Keenan Walker if he gets healthy, or Magloire if he has a great season next year.

He wasn't eligible for a RS his JR. He could only have gotten one if he got hurt in the first 4 games of his SR year.

Wonder if there has ever been a top award winner of all those LB awards not drafted? Scooby came close

I would think Griffey if he has the kind of upcoming season I'm hoping for. Great kid, outstanding pedigree and will be the go to guy. Needs to stay healthy which unfortunately, is a uphill battle for our players.

Did he decide not to play pro football and coach instead?

Read a quote where he signed with Dallas, cut in spring training, then went to New Orleans when Ditka was coach.
He ran so poorly Ditka pulled him aside and told he better find an another way to make a living.

He fits the Cardinals defensive scheme PERFECTLY. If we had another pick I think we would have taken him.

4 more picks without his name being called he would have signed a free agent contract with the Cardinals.
Better off being undrafted than the 5th bottom player drafted/

I actually believe that the Browns have the best coaching staff they have had in a really long time - since the Belichick era actually. Scooby should do well in Ray Horton's scheme. Their success depends on how long the ownership and management can stay out of their way and let them build the pieces before going balls to the wall to try and find a QB. It would be pretty cool to see Scooby be the centerpiece of a successful rebuild there. He has the potential to be what Adrian Wilson was to the Cardinals. But that all depends on what ownership and management does. Hue Jackson and Ray Horton will not be the cause of that rebuild failing.

If the Cardinals really wanted him, they had plenty of draft opportunities. Glad he didn't end up with them.
F*ck the Phoenix Cardinals. They should have stayed in St. Louis and let Arizona have the opportunity to get an expansion team -- which we were fairly close to doing.

A great athlete and I'll always root for Scooby, but if he doesn't have some wrestling experience, this might be a tough hill to climb.

Can't imagine colleges will be too pleased with this. I imagine the other NLI (National Letter of Intent) will not allow this, or if so, no longer requires the school to honor the scholarship or provide medical care if they do get injured. Even pro athletes aren't permitted to do dangerous activities such as ride motorcycles. Right Bobby?
The WWE is also interested in partnering with current college athletes through its Next In Line NIL program.
