Myles Jack withdraws from UCLA to enter NFL Draft

UCLA linebacker Myles Jack made a stunning decision on Tuesday to withdraw from school and declare for the NFL Draft.

Jack, a standout junior whose 2015 season ended last month when he suffered a knee injury during practice, has decided that he is going to take his chances heading to the NFL rather than returning to UCLA as a senior. Bruins coach Jim Mora wished Jack well but expressed some concerns over the decision.

“He’s taking his chips and shoving them into the middle, and we hope he draws a good hand,” Mora said.
