Colts GM Slams NFL Return as 'Stupidest'

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard sharply criticized NFL players returning to college football, calling it 'the stupidest shit I've ever heard' in a blunt assessment Tuesday.

Ballard's comments came as lawsuits clear the way for waived NFL players to re-enter college football. "Your entire life, you fight to get up to the NFL. OK, but now we're gonna go back? That makes a lot of freakin' sense," he said. xsportfeed.life

The Colts' roster has no players attempting college returns, though former Tampa Bay Buccaneers edge rusher Jack Pyburn considered LSU before the Chiefs claimed him. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Zxavian Harris and tight end Dae'Quan Wright are caught in a legal battle over their LSU eligibility amid new SEC restrictions on former pros returning to college sports.
