Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden and Cowboys receiver Justin Blackmon announced in a press conference today that they will return to OSU for the next football season.

Both players had been considering going to the NFL, and the deadline for declaring for the draft is Saturday.

Sitting side by side at a table with two microphones, Blackmon and Weeden addressed a crowd of media. Weeden opened the press conference by stating both would return.

I'm impressed.  It would have been easy to take the money and run after the season they had.  These two, no doubt, were largely responsible for the Pokes success this year. 

These two are pretty rare individuals.  Either that or their prospective agents told them they could sign for a few mil a year more if they got one more year of seasoning.  I think they should both be first or second rounders next year.  Weeden more likely in the second round simply due to his age.

Isn't Weeden already 27 years old?

After his eligibility ends, he can qualify for Social Security.
