Sad news for Stanford fans, but I have to believe Walker Little is making the best decision for his long-term playing future.

The bigger question is whether walker Little will see another snap in a Stanford uniform. It would be very sad if so, but even with a presumed drop on the draft board, he has to weigh how he can improve his position versus the possibility of a career ending injury.

Either way, I wish him the best. It will be sad if his Stanford career was cut short like this, but, on the other hand, the guy sacrificed his knee for us.

Little has NFL talent but the resilience and durability of his body is questionable. Perhaps a better strategy would be to stay in school and get his degree because he may not last too long in the NFL. Really sad.

I hope (selfishly) that that's the way he sees it, and that he comes back next year with a vengance and a desire to show NFL talent scouts that he is worthy of his first pre-injury round projections. The flip side is that even a day 2 or 3 draft gets him some money and a chance to play in the NFL, and if the injuries rob him of a productive NFL career, he can always come back and finish his degree. My guess is that Little has been making preparations for three-and-out for some time, so coming back to graduate wouldn't be too much of a burden.
