Bad Decision
NC State football player T.A. McLendon has decided to skip his senior year and make himself available to the NFL draft. He cites the need to take care of his family.
In three seasons with the Wolfpack, McLendon has shown flashes of brilliance, but just as often a tendency to fumble and to get injured. If he is lucky enough to get drafted and make an NFL roster, he will find it even more difficult to hold onto the ball and protect his body from injury.
I wish T.A. success in the NFL, but I doubt he will be playing three years from now. That is when his lack of degree will make it difficult to take care of his family.
