Recently we ran a post about James Davis entering the NFL draft. Here is the amended version:Running back James Davis, part of Clemson's "Thunder and Lightning" backfield the past two years, has decided (not) to give up his senior season (and not)...enter April's NFL draft.
"I can't lie to you, it was really hard for me just to leave here, (so, I'm not)" Davis said Wednesday night after meeting with coach Tommy Bowden for about 30 minutes.
Davis was projected as a third-round pick by the NFL and Bowden thought (still thinks) it was (is) in his player's best interest to remain one more season. "But I'm going to totally support the decision (which was a lie) and I'm going to encourage him to come back and get his degree," Bowden said.
Davis said he (still) isn't concerned about other high-profile junior runners who have entered the draft like Ray Rice of Rutgers and Kevin Smith of Central Florida (because he's staying).
