Where it stands

Tight end Dae’Quan Wright, who previously left the Cleveland Browns and the NFL to play college football at LSU, may return to the NFL. Lane Kiffin, LSU’s head coach, added Wright to the roster via the NFL waiver wire. The move is part of a broader trend of NFL players returning to college football.

The Wall Street Journal frames this trend as a clash between the capitalist NFL and the socialist college system. Yahoo Sports criticizes the practice, suggesting it tarnishes the integrity of college football. The Browns have not yet commented on Wright’s potential return.

It is unclear whether Wright will stay at LSU or return to the NFL.
