Former NFL running back T.J. Harden, who has played for the Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks, is entering the NCAA transfer portal as he seeks to return to college football.
According to reporting, Harden is pursuing another season after Seattle waived him. CBS Sports adds that his decision follows a court ruling that grants eligibility to a group of former NFL players, and notes that the eligibility relief is tied to a temporary restraining order. Yardbarker similarly frames the move as Harden heading back to college following his time with multiple NFL teams.
Across the outlets, the central points are consistent: Harden is no longer on an NFL roster, and he is using the renewed eligibility to continue his playing career at the college level. The coverage differs mainly in emphasis, with one outlet focusing on his transfer-portal entry and the other on the legal decision that restores eligibility and enables his next step.
