Former pro players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris are unable to sign with NFL teams, according to reports from both outlets. Both men received clearance tied to playing for LSU, but that status does not translate into eligibility to sign in the NFL.
The Oregonian notes that Wright and Harris had been attempting to play for Lane Kiffin at LSU. Yahoo Sports reports that the league does not allow them to sign, indicating they remain ineligible for NFL contracts despite any clearance associated with LSU. The difference in emphasis is that The Oregonian focuses on their attempt to join LSU’s program under Kiffin, while Yahoo Sports centers on the NFL’s enforcement decision and the practical outcome for their professional plans.
In both accounts, the central point is the same: the pathway that involved LSU does not lead to NFL signing permission for Wright and Harris right now, leaving them unable to move forward with NFL teams under current league rules.
