Jack Pyburn Stays in NFL | Kansas City Chiefs News

Jack Pyburn, the Louisiana lawsuit star challenging NCAA rules, is staying in the NFL after being claimed by the Chiefs off waivers — ditching college for a shot at pro football. His legal battle over the new “five-for-five” eligibility model ended with him dropping his court request to return to LSU, opting instead for a real chance with Kansas City. Once a Florida starter who spent a year at LSU and signed with Tampa Bay as an UDFA, Pyburn now faces a potential role at outside linebacker — while the SEC tightens its grip on former pros returning to college. With eligibility risks mounting, the NFL might be the smarter move for Pyburn. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
