Sam Bradford: What to expect
When Bob Stoops finally got around to Sam Bradford during Tuesday’s press conference, he had a hard time keeping his head up. That’s when you knew, Bradford’s season was over.
Tonight, Bradford will officially announce his next step following a re-aggravation of his separation shoulder suffered last weekend against Texas. That announcement is expected to be that Bradford will undergo surgery on his shoulder, effectively ending his junior season.
During tonight’s press conference, Bradford, however, will probably not get into the next step: jump to the NFL or come back for his senior year. And even if he is leaning one way, it would be unwise to make that decision before seeing how the surgery turns out. What if Bradford’s shoulder is slow to heal? What if he doesn’t feel right three months from now? Limiting his decisions now would be a mistake, and the Bradford family knows this.
But at least this will finally put some closure on what has been a nightmare season for the returning Heisman Trophy candidate. And at least now, the Sooners can begin to move on with Landry Jones, who has the pedigree to be a worthy successor.
