Penix and Bo Nix not invited to Draft

I can see Nix possibly, but I think Penix goes in the top half of the draft. Idiots. JJ Macarthy wasn't invited either.

Not invited or declined to go? More and more, players are electing to stay home and watch the draft from there with friends and family. Unless you're a guaranteed top 5 pick, I can see why guys wouldn't want to go sit around the green room all day.

If the expectation is that they go second round, that’s a pretty big gamble for Broncos, Raiders, etc. who need a QB.

This is wrong. Both declined to attend. In fact I think lots of guys declined this year.

got a link? every article I've found say they weren't invited which could in fact be because they told the NFL they were going to be there.

They were talking about it yesterday on I believe Bumps show. He was all for skipping the draft and staying home with family. If I remember right he said less than 20 guys are attending this year

Yeah. Unless you are a top 10 guy, why even head to Detroit? Stay home and celebrate with family.

I don’t see Bowers on that list. And Robinson could be sitting awhile by himself

For some guys, this is the pinnacle of the career, or others it’s just the next step.
