Myles Jack Withdraws from UCLA to Enter NFL Draft: Latest Comments and Reaction

Linebacker Myles Jack is looking toward a future in the NFL after suffering a season-ending knee injury with UCLA.

According to Sports Illustrated's Pete Thamel, Jack has withdrawn from UCLA and is entering the 2016 NFL draft.

UCLA head coach Jim Mora Jr. seemed to have reservations about Jack's decision, via Thamel:

Mora: "I think it's very risky to do this. There's a lot of speculation to ....where he fits."

Taking away the obvious implication that he's losing a star player for next season, Mora's skepticism isn't necessarily without merit.
