personally i think both moss and york shoud have come back. you don't jump to the draft if your a late rounder, with years left in college. i think they both got bad advice
that said i never saw anything with moss that didnt make me think he wasn't a beast. he ran lik a beast he was jus a bit unlucky. it happens. it happened to willis mcghee it happened with frank gore in college as well. but they both had great pro careers.
I agree as well that both Moss and York should have come back, especially Moss so he could hopefully get a full season under his belt with no injuries. If pre-NIL then I'd understand going to the draft but not now since they can make really good guaranteed money for one more year.
Part of Moss's problem with not getting drafted was his top end speed. He ran a 4.61. Some people will say 'yeah but so and so ran a similar time and he is a hall of famer." That is the exception.
The one stat during the draft they put up next to a player's height and weight is their 40 time. If he runs a 4.45 or better then he is getting drafted. Just like if Bisontis runs a 4.9 or better he is getting drafted in the first round.
Maybe his injury hampered his speed as well and another year in college (barring no lower body injuries) gets him completely recovered to where he has more time to train his speed?
