Yeah, Montee will undoubtedly be successful in life, football or no football. But, I'm hoping he can add some muscle/explosiveness to his already stellar game and turn into a can't-miss prospect next year.

Yep. That is one less year of wasted mileage in college.

Good for him for valuing his education but it is really not a smart investment. The one year of unpaid extra wear and tear on his body could cost him a couple of million dollars.

Yeah, but the difference between the guaranteed money for a first rounder vs a third rounder can more than make up for that difference.

That's assuming he actually becomes a first rounder, though. I'm betting against it.
