Also, just in case you missed it, the National Football Post's Russ Lande has ranked Bjoern Werner as his No. 1 rated draft prospect, based on film evaluation and discussions with NFL personnel, in his initial Top 200 Draft Prospects. If this holds up with other experts evaluations and projections, I think we can pretty much dismiss any possibility of him returning for his senior season, rightfully so.

Other FSU players making the Top 200 Draft Prospects list are:

Xavier Rhodes at No. 49

Brandon Jenkins at No. 37
