FSU's Xavier Rhodes declares for NFL draft
http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2013/sto...2013-nfl-draft
Florida State cornerback Xavier Rhodes said he will enter the NFL draft, shortly after the Seminoles' 31-10 victory over Northern Illinois in the Discover Orange Bowl.
A redshirt junior, Rhodes said he has been projected as a late first- or early second-round pick in April's draft.
"I'm gone," Rhodes told ESPN on Tuesday. "I did all I could in college. If I was to come back, I don't think my status would be getting any better."
The 6-foot-2, 217-pound Rhodes recently was rated as the fourth-best junior cornerback by ESPN NFL draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. The Miami native had three interceptions this season.

Bout time. Over the years it seems like the only school NOT to lose any juniors ro the draft was SOW. Now, their players are seeing the light that staying in school to chase a MNC (Especially with Jeffbo at the helm) is a waste of their time.

Don't care much one way or the other about Rhodes but it would be nice if Werner followed him.

The same could be said for Jimbo Fisher, but he's sticking around.

Florida State running back Chris Thompson told the Orlando Sentinel he too will enter the NFL draft, passing up a shot at a medical exemption from the NCAA that would have given him a fifth season. Thompson suffered season-ending injuries the past two years.
Florida State star defensive end Bjoern Werner and safety Lamarcus Joyner said Tuesday that they will take a few days before deciding whether to enter the draft.

Also, if you read his other tweets, it's like his 4th language is English and he really hasn't learned much of it yet.

What is he talking about? The bowl game? Didn't he play in it? It sounds like he just watched his teammate(s?) play.

He played, according to the box score had one catch for 13 yards. That quote doesn't make a lot of sense to me either.

Already knew this about Chris, as I heard from his friend at Hooters that he's getting ready to go down south to train for the NFL combines.
