McCaffrey #8 to Carolina. Guess the Panthers don't care that he skipped the Sun Bowl.

And Fournette #4 to Jacksonville. As has been evident for a while, fans and radio talk show hosts were worked up about it but the NFL is a bottom line business.

When Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette decided to skip their bowl games last December, nobody really knew how it would impact their NFL draft status, or that of future players considering the same choice.

We found out very quickly Thursday night -- with a rubber stamp of approval from the NFL. All those who thought perhaps league executives would frown upon players abandoning their teams to get a jump on their NFL careers got a resounding answer.
