Chris Wells’ decision to skip his senior season and enter the NFL Draft is “purely financial,” Gossip Cbus has learned. This revelation comes despite NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s assurance that rookie salary structure will remain unchanged until 2011.
“He needs to get paid, he needs to get paid now, the boy has family and things outside OSU to think about,” said a source close to Wells’ family. “This is purely financial and anyone who throws up any static should shut up. He was already hurt this year. At least next year, he could be hurt with millions.”
Since our report of the junior’s intentions, Wells has slipped from a consensus top five selection to twelfth (in an average of six NFL Mock Drafts). Experts say his stock will continue to fluctuate based upon NFL free agency, individual workouts, and other underclassman who declare.
In three seasons, Wells has 569 carries, 3,276 yards, and 30 touchdowns. This season, despite injuries (three games missed), he has 191 carries, 1,091 yards, and 8 touchdowns. He closed his junior season with four one hundred yard efforts in five contests (three consecutive).
