Please make a note I was the first to say Sutton would go pro after this season. Thank you...

Is this the first time we’ve had an early draft entry? Can’t remember us having a player good enough to bypass their final season of eligibility.

Great question! I don’t remember any...

Congrats to Smith. Thanks for the highlights!

I believe Tracy Wilson did as well but that was due to some off field issues. Wasn’t drafted and no comparison.

There probably hasn't been a player in NIU's program that it would have made sense for him to leave early. Maybe if Turner the Burner was playing today he'd have left after his junior year but I can't think of anybody else.

If they didn't get drafted then they just left the program. They didn't "come out'' early....
