Anthony Davis enters NFL Draft
All-Big East tackle skips senior season to join professional ranks
By Steven Miller
Published: Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Junior left tackle Anthony Davis will forego his senior season at Rutgers to enter the NFL Draft.

There were no surprises at Anthony Davis? second major press conference.
The junior left tackle chose to forego his senior season with the Rutgers football team and enter the NFL Draft. The announcement came three years after the No. 1 high school prospect in New Jersey shocked the college football world by committing to Rutgers over Ohio State, Southern California and every other school in the nation.

?It?s been in my heart,? Davis said. ?[My teammates] know I love them and I love this place, but it?s the right time for me right now.?
The decision marks the third consecutive year a junior elected to leave the Scarlet Knights early for the NFL, following Ray Rice and Kenny Britt, but no decision appeared as obvious as that of Davis.

ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. ranks the 6-foot-6, 325-pound lineman as the No. 1 offensive tackle available and Todd McShay calls him a potential top-ten pick.

?I just think he?s ready,? said head coach Greg Schiano. ?I think he?s ready in every way and I kind of felt like that?s what he wanted to do. Ray and Kenny struggled a bit with it. I just think AD knew what was right for him.?

Man, oh man. It seems like only yesterday morning when AlexBooneFan was talking about writing a letter to Anthony the recruit explaining the benefits of Ohio State.....and it seems like only yesterday afternoon that she was so ticked at him for dissing OSU by tossing the cap aside at his announcement ceremony. The years will roll, indeed.

After combine, pro-day workouts last chance for prospects to shine

Anthony Davis/T/Rutgers: His combine workout was as ugly as it gets. He was slow in the 40 and lacked strength on the bench. Some scouts believe Davis will now slide into the late part of round one. The Rutgers pro day is March 10, which means Davis has little time to work to significantly improve those marks.

Stupid move. You don't miss what is in essence the most important job interview of your life. You spend your entire life gearing up to realize a dream that only a special few can ever achieve and you don't even show for what is essentially the interview?

Buyer Beware.
