Jim Harbaugh believes skipping bowl games hurts player legacies

Jim Harbaugh has a way of saying things that ruffle feathers when he speaks his mind and gives his honest take, but his words have once again drawn a discussion in the lead-up to the football season. The Michigan Football head coach was asked about his thoughts on players skipping bowl games to avoid risking NFL Draft stock and he believes that it does hurt how players are viewed on the way out the door.

“Yeah, I do, and I think it hurts their legacy, too – just what they’re about,” Harbaugh told Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take podcast.
