Sam Bradford is returning to Oklahoma for at least another year!


The associated press just announced Sam Bradford, the Heisman Trophy winner, is returning to Oklahoma for his junior year. Bradford is a premiere quarterback and ran Oklahomas high powered offense that averaged over 54 points per game. He has everything required of an NFL quarterback, including the abilities to read the defense, great pocket presence and great awareness. His offensive line is among the top in the category of “Sacks Allowed”, largely due to Bradford’s awareness of when to get rid of the ball. Sam Bradford led the league with 50 touchdown passes last season and a quarterback rating of 180.8.

Good or Bad Call? It's hard to determine whether he made the right decision considering the very weak quarterback class this year. He could have made more money if he would have declared this year because the NFL is considering giving lower signing bonuses to rookies next year. Having said that, it will give him time to prepare himself mentally, for the pressure the professional athletes’ are under. If he did enter the upcoming NFL draft, he would have likely been the second QB chosen.
