Sean McVay comments on college athletes returning from NFL camps
Summary

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expressed confusion over players transitioning from NFL camps back to college football. His comments were made during training camp on August 25, following a report that former tight end Dae'Quan Wright might rejoin Ole Miss after leaving the NFL. The SEC recently implemented policies to prevent athletes from returning to college after declaring for the NFL Draft without proper withdrawal. This move reflects broader eligibility issues as over 150 athletes seek additional eligibility due to NCAA regulations. Wright and others from the 2022 high school class are caught in this dilemma amid ongoing legal battles regarding eligibility.
