CAREER PATH INTERCEPTED: Yale senior Patrick Witt, previously discussed here, today chose the Harvard game over his Rhodes Scholar interview, in part because he believed he couldn't pursue an NFL career if delayed by time in Oxford.
Harvard impressed them with their prowess, did, winning 45-7 today. Witt went 24-39 for 226y, 1 td and 3 interceptions, and can re-apply for the Rhodes next year.
Or the Rhodes people could learn about such wonderful things as rescheduling or Skype.
ReplyDeleteDude, it's totally the plot line of an old movie, having to choose between the thing he loves right now or his future. Is he a career-focused gal in the 1930s?
ReplyDelete1 TD and 3 int's in a loss? Maybe he should have taken the interview after all.
ReplyDeleteOr he could play for the Eagles.
ReplyDeleteOr the Skins - those are Grossman-esque numbers right there. If John Beck can have a chance to be a starter, surely this kid should get a look at on a practice squad as an undrafted free agent.
