Ohio State QB Cardale Jones says 2015 NFL Draft was ‘out of the question’ for him after 3 career starts

After just three career starts, Cardale Jones will not enter the 2015 NFL Draft, the Ohio State quarterback announced on Thursday from Cleveland Ginn Academy, where he attended high school.
Prior to his announcement, which aired live on ESPN, the third-year sophomore referred to it as a “life changing decision” on his Twitter account.
Many thought the 6-foot-5, 250-pound dual-threat would try to become one of the least experienced quarterbacks to ever be drafted.
Matt Cassel, of the Minnesota Vikings, is the only quarterback to ever be drafted with fewer starts than Jones, according to ESPN.
The seventh round pick never started a game for USC, as he spent his entire college career playing behind Heisman Trophy winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart.
Jones began the 2014 season as Ohio State’s third-string quarterback. It was not until Heisman candidates Braxton Miller and J.T. Barrett each suffered injuries that Jones was thrust into action.
Making his first start last month, the Cleveland native led the Buckeyes to a Big Ten Championship with a 59-0 win over Wisconsin.
He followed that up by taking down then-top-ranked Alabama, 42-35, in the Rose Bowl semifinal.
Jones completed his redshirt sophomore season as a national champion, as Ohio State beat Oregon, 42-20, to claim its first title since 2002.
