Question ( Non GT )

[stech81]

At the beginning of the year Kaaya ( Miami ) and Nick Chubb ( uga ) were predicted to go Pro after this year. Kaaya is not having a bad season but may not be as high as some thought , Chubb is not having a good year. Do you think they will come back next year or go Pro ?

The NFL doesn't care about how your season is going. They look at the physical attributes and both have plenty of solid tape. I think they'll both be projected as high draft choices - especially Kaaya - and they would be foolish to risk being hurt in college when they can cash in now. Chubb knows a thing or two about getting hurt.

When your right your right.

FWIW, WalterFootball.com mock drafts has Kaaya going 5th overall... http://walterfootball.com/draft2017.php

Chubb going in the 2nd round (54th overall)... http://walterfootball.com/draft2017_2.php

Unless you are an exceptional talent (see Ezekiel Elliott in this past draft to the Cowpunks), RB's aren't taken as automatic in the 1st round like they used to.
