AJ Finley discusses the NFL feedback he's received as draft decision looms

One of the biggest decisions that college players make is when to declare for the NFL Draft. Part of that process is putting in for NFL feedback before making a decision on whether or not to leave early. Ole Miss defensive back AJ Finley is among those players going through that process now.

While speaking to the media, AJ Finley spoke about the feedback that he’s received from the NFL so far as his decision looms.

“The school and–you talk to the school and pretty much what they think you should do,” AJ Finley explained.

“Where they see you going, and it really is some insightful feedback and I just got to look deep into it and see what I’m gonna do.”

It sounds like AJ Finley hasn’t made a decision about his future, yet. It’s coming, though. When it does, it’s going to be a big deal for Ole Miss to try and find a way to replace him.

AJ Finley has been a key player on the Ole Miss defense for four seasons now, but because of the pandemic season has another year of eligibility if he chooses to use it. During his career, he’s made eight interceptions and 239 tackles. Out of high school, he was a three-star recruit in the Class of 2019.
