There are an NFL-record 111 underclassmen in this year’s draft pool and Lions General Manager Bob Quinn thinks a fair number of them are going to be disappointed once the seventh round comes to an end.Last year’s draft ended with 36-of-106 underclassmen undrafted and Quinn said at a Thursday press conference that White Will Harris Jersey , based on his team’s evaluations, some players are getting “bad information” about their prospects. He expects there will be “a lot of disappointment” once this year’s draft is over as a result.“So I think this year is going to be pretty interesting to sit back after the draft and kind of do the numbers and say how many juniors were picked in 2018 compared to how many juniors were picked in 2019,” Quinn said, via ESPN.com. “It’s probably going to be about the same number, if I were to guess Ty Johnson Detroit Lions Jersey , but you’re going to have X amount of guys that aren’t drafted and now they’re out of college eligibility and now there’s no AAF so there’s no other place to play. So where do these guys go? Where do those other 40 guys go? I’m not sure.”Quinn was asked about a change to the system that would allow players to return to school if they went undrafted and said it “probably could work” although he wasn’t advocating that the NFL and NCAA adopt such an approach.Another option — unmentioned on Thursday — might be to have a date ahead of the draft where players could pull out after going through the Combine and/or other meetings with teams. Quinn said some don’t “believe the evaluation they get from the NFL” about their chances so that might not result in a significant change in the number of players who wind up vying for work as undrafted free agents. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says Congress should enact uniform standards for any states that plan to legislate sports betting.Goodell detailed the league’s position in a statement Monday that reiterated the NFL’s stance that legalized sports gambling in the United States should be governed by federal law rather than state law. The Supreme Court ruled last week to strike down a 1992 law that barred most state-authorized sports gambling.In suggesting four core principles that should be maintained for any form of legalized sports betting, Goodell stressed that leagues can “protect our content and intellectual property from those who attempt to steal or misuse it.” He also said guidelines must provide substantial consumer protections; ensure fans will have access to official, reliable league data; and that law enforcement will have the resources, monitoring and enforcement tools necessary “to protect our fans and penalize bad actors here at home and abroad.”After emphasizing the importance of protecting the integrity of his sport, Goodell noted the NFL has been planning for the potential of legalized sports gambling in states other than Nevada.“(We) are prepared to address these changes in a thoughtful and comprehensive way Ty Johnson Jersey 2019 , including substantial education and compliance trainings for our clubs, players, employees and partners,” he said. “These efforts include supporting common sense legislation that protects our players, coaches and fans and maintains public confidence in our games.”The NFL has long opposed any forms of gambling on its games Color Rush Ty Johnson Jersey , though it has approved the move of the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas in 2020, and has strong ties to fantasy football, which is not tied to the Supreme Court decision.Many sports leagues have expressed concerns about the varied betting rules each state could pass, where bets could be placed, and who would be overseeing them.Those leagues also believe they are entitled to an “integrity fee.” The easiest way to arrange for a cut of the proceeds would be negotiating with Congress rather than deals with individual states. If it passed a nationwide bill Cheap Ty Johnson Jersey , Congress could require casinos, tracks or state governments to share some of their revenue with the sports leagues — or pay the integrity fees, designed to cover the costs of policing betting.——AP Writer Wayne Parry contributed.
