John Moffitt had the opportunity to enter the NFL draft last year. He decided to wait. So if Moffitt is not selected on the first day of the draft (April 28) when only one round is chosen the wait won’t be too agonizing.
After that, however, he hopes his name is called soon.
The Guilford native who played his high school football at Notre Dame-West Haven is regarded as one of the top five collegiate interior offensive linemen eligible for the 2011 draft.
“It’s exciting and it’s nerve-wracking too,” Moffitt said. “I’ve done all I can and now I just have to wait.”
