Bradford Returning to Oklahoma

With both Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy returning to their schools, Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford didn't want to be outdone. Bradford announced today that he will be returning to Oklahoma next year.

The third-year sophomore passed on the money and decided to stay in school and try and pursuit a national championship and another Heisman trophy.

Bradford lead the nation with 50 touchdown passes and would have been likely a high round draft choice.

Bradford also let it slip at his press conference that Tight End Jermaine Gresham and offensive lineman Trent Williams are also returning. Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy already announced he was going to return.

As for Bradford though this decision makes more sense than Tebow staying in college. Unlike Tebow who is fully mature, Bradford does have some growing left to do. Next year will be only his third season as the starting quarterback and he still has to work on his skills.

He needs to prove to everyone that he is not the next Tim Couch. A quarterback who only stands in the pocket and makes throws to wide-open receivers. He needs to prove that he can stand in the pocket and be cool when the pressure is coming.

In Oklahoma's only two losses this season, defensive line and blitz's pressured Bradford to make some poor decisions. Bradford will need this time to improve his skills.
