A look at the 2007 junior class as players decide whether to enter the 2008 NFL draft.Last week I noted that Virginia Tech cornerback Victor "Macho" Harris had decided to declare for the NFL draft, and I said I thought it was a mistake.
It turns out that Harris gave it some thought and decided he agrees with me. He told his position coach, Torrian Gray, that he changed his mind.
"I called him and was like, 'Really? Seriously?' " Gray said. Harris told him he had changed his mind, had spoken with head coach Frank Beamer and would enroll in this semester's classes, which began Monday. "He just felt like that, instead of trying to squeeze into whatever round it may be, it was in his best interest to come back. And I think he's right in that assessment."I think he's right in that assessment, too. This year Harris would be a mid-round pick, and he'd struggle as a rookie in 2008. But if he has a good senior year, he could be one of the top cornerback prospects in 2009.
