Maryland tackle Jared Gaither will enter the NFL supplemental draft, leaving the Terrapins after two tumultuous seasons. Gaither made the decision to enter the July 12 draft less than a week after he was ruled academically ineligible for the upcoming season.

Despite around-the-clock tutorials, tag teams of professors, and multimedia instructional techniques, Jared could only manage a low D in remedial coloring book procedures.

Say what you will, when I was at Maryland I had a half dozen or so athletes in my Engineering classes and they got no special privileges, and all did well and graduated.

Someone should pick him up. He would have been a firstrounder in 2008.

Despite his lack of academic talent, he is tremendously gifted on the field. Some team will be very lucky to obtain his raw but potentially all-pro football talent.
