Mini-camp issues

| | Comments (0) |

It doesn't impact those UCLA players who are drafted nearly as much, but when it comes time to sign free agent contracts after the draft a rule working against schools like UCLA comes into play.
Rookies cannot partake in the rookie mini-camp for NFL teams until said player's school session is over. Most of the schools it's not an issue because by mid-May, the semester is over.
However, with UCLA on the quarter system and school not being completed until mid-June, players often miss out on mini-camps.
"I know there is talk about changing the rule," said former UCLA defensive end Bruce Davis, who is expected to be drafted in the second or third round this weekend. "As soon as classes are done, I'm out of here and heading for whatever teams takes me."
