Christian McCaffrey was the reason you planned on watching the 2016 Sun Bowl. Leonard Fournette was the reason you planned on watching the 2016 the Citrus Bowl. Neither are going to play, and it’s fantastic.
Monday morning McCaffrey was the second college football superstar in a week to announce that he would skip his team’s bowl game to focus on his preparation for the 2017 NFL Draft.
Obviously this news alone is a good thing. McCaffrey and Fournette have nothing to gain by playing in their respective bowl games and should absolutely focus on what could potentially be very lucrative careers in professional football.
