UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Some guys just don't want to be in college anymore. It can be as simple as that. Because even if there are plenty of obvious reasons for them to return to school and play another year, they decide to turn pro anyway.
The phrase we usually hear from these guys is, "I'm betting on myself."
And sure enough, we heard that exact phrase on Penn State's pro day from wide receiver Parker Washington, who entered the NFL draft early despite still dealing with the aftermath of an ankle injury that cut short his 2022 season.
