Guy was supposed to be #1 overall pick (supposedly) a year ago. He leaves school as a Jr and no one drafts him.

Vote: Will Jevan Snead make it with the Bucs?
April 25, 2010|By Andrea Adelson, Sentinel Staff Writer
Sam Bradford and Gerald McCoy were two of the biggest winners in the 2010 NFL Draft -- underclassmen who left school early and are set for hefty pay days.
But several players were not so lucky. Aaron Hernandez went in the fourth round. Carlton Mitchell went in the sixth. But hey, at least they got drafted.
That brings us to Ole Miss QB Jevan Snead.
When Snead declared he would skip his final year with the Rebels, many wondered why. He had a poor 2009 season, in which he threw 20 touchdowns and an SEC-high 20 interceptions and only completed 54 percent of his passes. Snead seemed to have regressed from his stellar 2008 campaign, a fine season that had Ole Miss on the tips of tongues as the No. 8 team in the AP preseason poll -- largely based on his performance. Who can forget the kerfuffle when Steve Spurrier placed Snead on his All-SEC first-team ballot at quarterback ahead of Tim Tebow?
But nobody expected him to go completely undrafted.
Now, Snead is relegated to undrafted free agent, and will have to scrap his way into the NFL. The Bucs gave Snead free-agent deal after the draft ended. His agent, Jeff Nalley, told the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, "Once it gets past the fourth round, a lot of times it's just better to go undrafted. Jevan's a smart kid and he understands that. With the Bucs, he's got a really good shot to make that roster."
But isn't it an indictment against Snead that 13 quarterbacks went drafted, while he left school early only to get the big prize of a free-agent deal? Take a look at the QBs who were actually selected (among them, Tennessee's much maligned Jonathan Crompton in the fifth round to the Chargers):
Round 1
Sam Bradford, St. Louis
Tim Tebow, Denver
Round 2
Jimmy Clausen, Carolina
Round 3
Colt McCoy, Cleveland
Round 4
Mike Kafka, Philadelphia
Round 5
John Skelton, Arizona Jonathan Crompton, San Diego
Round 6
Rusty Smith, Tennessee Dan Lefevour, Chicago Tony Pike, Carolina
Round 7
Levi Brown, Buffalo Sean Canfield, New Orleans Zac Robinson, New England
