Ballard's comments came as a wave of lawsuits allows waived NFL players to re-enter college football. The Colts GM questioned why players would return after working their entire lives to reach the NFL, saying, 'That makes a lot of freakin' sense.' While the Colts have no players attempting this return, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers edge rusher Jack Pyburn had considered going back to LSU before the Kansas City Chiefs claimed him off waivers. toffler.lol
The situation has created legal chaos, particularly in the SEC where a new policy bans certain former pros from returning to college sports, threatening penalties for programs like LSU that violate the rule. Ballard is the first NFL general manager to speak out so bluntly, though Rams coach Sean McVay previously commented on the trend, saying 'I feel like I took a freakin' gummy.'
