I think this is a great thing for him. From time to time the elite guys decline and just go to the draft but I suspect there are offensive tackles shaking in their cleats today knowing he will be there all week......

Agreed. Shows he's not afraid to compete.

He can't be afraid to compete. He's essentially interviewing for a job next year. He needs as much on his "resume" as possible.

I hope he goes into beast mode again. I have the feeling he could work his way into the 1st round with a good showing at the senior bowl and the combine. He reminds me a lot of Orakpo.

Not a fan of the move. Risking injury in a situation that's unlikely to help his draft stock much. Better option is to set schedule with Wylie and get ready to show out at the combine and UT pro day.

A lot of people looking through burnt orange glasses on this one. I love Oak's ability but playing in an "all-star" game like this won't change anything. Pointless to risk injury. Rest up for a couple weeks now that the season is over. Then hit it hard with Wylie to get ready for the 2 workouts that actually matter.
