Miami has been plagued for years with players turning pro too early, which has kept the Canes relatively young and inexperienced instead of having upper-classmen to lead the team. My theory has always been that if you are promised a grade where you will be drafted in the 1st three rounds of the NFL draft, then you should go pro. NFL shelf life is very short, so players need to strike while the iron is hot. The issue for Miami is guys have turned pro too early and left school to be drafted late, or not drafted at all, which leaves the Canes short on depth and the player out of the NFL very quickly.
