Cardale Jones press conference today
Cardale Jones to make NFL draft announcement at 3 p.m.
Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones appears headed toward the NFL draft after just three college starts. Jones has confirmed on Twitter that he will make a “life changing decision at 3 p.m.“ Although Jones hasn’t said what he will be announcing, players rarely schedule press conferences to announce that they’re staying in school. And on the rare occasions when players do make such announcements, the press conference usually takes place in conjunction with the school’s athletics department. But according to multiple reports, Jones’s announcement will be at the Ginn Academy, where Jones attended high school. So it now appears nearly certain that Jones will turn pro, after one of the most unusual college careers in the history of the sport: Jones only started three games, and in those three games he led his team to victory in the Big Ten Championship Game and then to the national championship with two wins in the first-ever college football playoff. Is Jones ready to start in the NFL? Not yet. But he has all the tools that NFL teams look for in a quarterback, and less experienced quarterbacks than Jones have been drafted before, including Matt Cassel and Jay Schroeder. Jones is making a decision few expected as recently as a few days ago, but he’s probably making the right decision. |

They just gave him the Matt Cassel kiss of death.
Not a really accurate comparison, though. Jones actually won big games in college. Yeah, only 3. But still. |

Strike while the iron is hot.
He's 22, and he has a kid. Even if he has the opportunity to be on a practice squad, he should do it. |

To my understanding, the two QB's slated to start ahead of him are returning?
Maybe he assumes he won't see the field again and should strike while the iron is hot?

Friends and family must've convinced him he's a top 5 picx. Thus, trying to get paid ASAP.

Todd and Kiper both said he would be a 2nd to early 3rd rounder. I would only take him if I was able to let him sit and learn for a couple years. I think it is his best decision right now. He would not be the starter next year. Braxton Miller is back and JT Barrett is back. He may be able to transplant Miller if Miller's shoulder doesn't recover, but Barrett broke his ankle, he will be ready to roll. Cardale just had a young child, and he should take the money and run, he doesn't owe Ohio State anything else, and Urban hinted at that.

Honestly, I think he should do it. He had a tweet about how school is a waste of his time and he doesn't see why he should go to class, and like others said, the iron is hot.
Not only that, but also the fact that there's so little tape/information out there on him that it could actually play to his advantage. He's the mystery guy with unquestionable talent and 3 championships in 3 starts. It can only go downhill from here, if he even gets to see the field in Columbus. |

What a dumbass. Ignorant non-educated dumbass. 3 starts? He will never be anything but a nobody in the NFL and broke.
