When Northwestern State wide receiver Jazz Ferguson left LSU following a batch of academic issues and a failed drug test, he knew it was time to grow up.
He's now receiving Day 2 grades from several NFL teams who have noted the progress he's made and his talent.
With increased maturity and appreciation for the game, the physically gifted former blue-chip recruit is writing an intriguing comeback story.
Ferguson got his academics in order at his new school, redshirting and paying his own way his first year because he couldn't get a scholarship due to his grades and excelled last season before declaring early for the draft.
