Am I the only one that thinks this kid is doing the right thing? This all came up way too close to the draft to be able to clear away to the satisfaction of teams drafting in the top half of the first, so he was costing himself money by entering the draft. He's right to pull out, take his time dealing with the police and going for the supplemental. I know the NFL is saying no right now, but if he's fully cleared I don't see what leg they have to stand on to keep him out.

My understanding the rules are clear and he hasn't a leg to stand on to force his way into the supplemental draft. If he didn't do anything it's completely not his fault and unfortunate. In this one case, the NFL hasn't done anythiong wrong either. He is in the draft pool and has been all along. It's up to the teams to pick or not pick.
