Colts GM Chris Ballard rips NFL players

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has made his position clear on NFL players attempting to return to college football, and he is not impressed.

The issue comes as several former NFL players pursue another season of college eligibility while legal questions surrounding a potential fifth year continue to develop.

When Ballard was asked whether any Colts players had approached him about leaving the professional ranks to return to college, his response was blunt.

“No,” Ballard said. “It’s the stupidest s--- I’ve ever heard.”

He acknowledged that the comment could draw criticism but questioned why players would want to reverse course after spending years trying to reach the NFL.

“I’m sorry. I know I’ll catch crap for this. Your entire life, you fight to get up to the NFL, but now we’re gonna go back. OK, that makes a lot of freaking sense.”

His remarks come after LSU added players who had previously played under Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss and had already signed with NFL teams before seeking another opportunity in college football.
