I agree with Langdude here. If injury were the big concern, as it would be, say, in the last NFL preseason game, why not suit up for the Sun Bowl, play one series, accept the accolades, and move on? Reductio ad absurdum, the logic used to skip the Sun Bowl pushes the drafting decisions back to high school performances (like the old NBA).
