Cromartie: Ive decided to enter the NFL Draft.

Quote from Antonio Cromartie

"I have decided to enter the NFL draft. This is based on several reasons, but mainly I want to be able to help my family out. I've talked to my family and the coaches and I feel like this is the best decision. I have learned a lot from Coach Bowden and Coach Andrews, and I am thankful that I have had the chance to play at Florida State. I would like to thank everyone at Florida State for all they have done for me, especially my teammates, the coaches and the staff. My knee feels great and I have been working extremely hard to get myself ready to play again. My plan now is to continue to work hard and get ready for the combine and other workouts. I feel like I am ready to play at the next level and that's what I'll have to be able to show the scouts and coaches in the next couple months."

Quote from Coach Bobby Bowden

"Like I've always said, I think you can make more money if you stay another year in school and work towards getting your diploma. But, if there are extenuating circumstances, then I will support the decision to enter the draft. Antonio is an outstanding athlete and there is no doubt that he has the ability to play in the NFL."
