Ten players who could be in the NFL right now but aren't. In other words, thanks for staying in college guys ...
1. Jim Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State -- It's more about getting a degree (Laurinaitis wants to be a broadcaster) than chasing another national championship game.
2. James Davis, RB, Clemson -- Actually declared before wisely pulling out of the draft to re-form Thunder and Lightning (with C.J. Spiller) at Clemson.
3. Rey Maualuga, LB, USC -- A wild child as a freshman, maybe the No. 1 linebacker in the country as a senior.
4. Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss -- How many guys have a book written about them before they get to college?
5. Darry Beckwith, LB, LSU -- The scouts love his pursuit. Playing behind another great LSU line Beckwith should have a monster year.
6. Malcolm Jenkins, DB, Ohio State -- Is there anything more pure than this?: "I don't feel that I've accomplished everything I can accomplish in college football," Jenkins said, "and there's still a lot for me to conquer and shoot for - the national championship, another Big Ten championship, the Thorpe Award. And I really look forward to the honors and perks associated with being a senior on this team."
7. Duke Robinson, OL, Oklahoma -- Get your tears of a clown puns out of the way, this great nephew of Smokey Robinson had an amazing 13 knockdown blocks against Miami.
8. Alex Boone, OT, Ohio State -- Boone is coming back to win an Outland Trophy, ahem, if not a national championship.
9. Macho Harris, CB, Virginia Tech -- This has to be a success story: Harris declared for the draft even though he was projected in the third round. Four days before the deadline, he pulled his name back.
10. Jonathan Luigs, C, Arkansas -- How does it get better after winning the Rimington Trophy while blocking for Darren McFadden and Felix Jones?
