Top Pac-12 players who spurned the 2016 NFL Draft

Early declarations for the 2016 NFL Draft have come and gone and a wealth of talented Pac-12 players chose to return to school even though they had a great shot at heading to the next level and making money.

There are plenty of players like Christian McCaffrey and Juju Smith-Schuster who cannot declare, but here are the best that could have declared.

1. Luke Falk Jr. QB Washington State

Falk isn't a Jared Goff-type franchise quarterback shoe-in, but he has solid size and excellent accuracy that could make him a starter at the next level and as a redshirt sophomore, he could have started working on the NFL dream this year, especially considering he had some head injury issues at the end of the season.
