​College football bowl season is upon us, and that means that many college stars get one last chance to make a good impression on the NFL scouts getting ready to potentially select them in the upcoming draft.





Or, it's also an opportunity to possibly suffer a brutal injury that plummets your draft stock, like it did to former Notre Dame star Jaylon Smith.





With that in mind, a few of the brightest stars in the upcoming draft have decided to sit out for their team's big bowl games, and instead get ready for the draft. Star running backs Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey have both already opted out of their bowls, and one NFL executive is not very happy about it.

I don't agree with this, at all, but one assistant GM just said this to me about McCaffrey, Fournette: "They are selfish puss---." — mike freeman (@mikefreemanNFL) December 19, 2016

​​Yeesh, that's a little harsh, isn't it?





I can see both sides in this argument. Is it selfish for these guys to abandon their team to get ready for the big leagues? Sure! However, it's a smart business decision, especially considering the fact that they're not getting paid anything in college.





Also, anonymous GM, if you're so passionate about this...stop being anonymous?





Love it or hate it, it's happening.
