Benny Snell explains why it was time to enter the NFL Draft
After announcing an incredibly important decision, Benny Snell kept it light. Wearing Tony Neely’s feathered hat after a Citrus Bowl practice, the UK running back explained what went into his decision to declare for the NFL Draft.“Really what it was, was me accepting the fact that it was time, that my life was going to change. Things are going to be different. I’m not going to be doing the same things,” he said. “It’s emotional really, but it’s what had to be done.”
Like many other underclassmen, Snell could have opted to sit out of the bowl game to prepare for the draft. He never really considered it.
“I want to go out like I came in, with my brothers,” Snell said.
