Michael Bush isn't a JR :lmao He could of been a 5th year senior though if he did come back. He was injured in the very first game of the season.

The team that drafts Peterson had better have a pretty good backup RB because history has proven that AP is INJURY PRONE.

Gonzalez skipping senior season; enters NFL draftAssociated Press


COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Speedy wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez, a deep threat and the second-leading receiver for Ohio State, will skip his senior season and enter the NFL draft.

"Obviously, it's the toughest thing I've ever had to do in my life," Gonzalez said at a news conference Thursday in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Two other Buckeyes are contemplating an early move to the NFL. Tailback Antonio Pittman will announce his decision on Monday at his Akron high school. Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., who sprained his left foot in the BCS national championship game, has not made up his mind, his father said Thursday.

An Academic All-American, Gonzalez was an All-Big Ten selection. He finished the season with 51 receptions for 734 yards and eight touchdowns -- all career highs.

Gonzalez, a philosophy major, is one of the most popular players on the roster. He's also known for sleeping in an oxygen-depletion tent and his knack for cooking Cuban food.

I'd love to have Marshawn Lynch on my team.

[mardigan]

Bush is the shit, and Peterson will hold up, although your right about probably getting a backup just in case

[Mr Dio]

Will def need a good backup, the guy can sprint 90yds & score BUT, can he be an every down between the tackles player in the NFL?
IMO, no, not for long & he will have an injury every yr that will force him to miss PT..

HONOLULU -- Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan withdrew from the NFL draft Wednesday and will return to school for his senior season.

Brennan on Monday filed the paperwork to make himself eligible for April's draft but said he needed more time to make up his mind. He had 72 hours to decide and ended up choosing another year running the Warriors' high-powered offense.

"I know what I'm passing up," Brennan said at a news conference. "My heart lies right here in Hawaii."

Brennan set an NCAA record with 58 touchdown passes this season, and led the nation in passing yards (5,549), passing efficiency (186) and completion percentage (72.6).

"I like being out here," Brennan said. "It just felt right to stay. I want to keep helping this program. And I know that one more year will help prepare me for the NFL draft. By next year I'll be that much better."
