Imitation is the best form of flattery Antonio Brown Raiders Jersey , right?Well, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters certainly thinks so.Near the end of the Rams? 33-13 rout of the Oakland Raiders on Monday Night Football, Peters intercepted a Derek Carr pass and returned it 50 yards for the game?s final touchdown. All was fine, until he actually crossed the goal line.During his return, the two-time Pro Bowler leaped and grabbed his crotch while falling into the end zone, imitating a gesture now Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch did several times during the 2014 season when he was a member of the Seattle Seahawks.Similar to Lynch who was fined over $30,000 for making the gesture on two separate occasions, Peters was fined $13,369 by the NFL.?Yeah, it?s a lot of money, but it was worth it,? Peters told ESPN.com Friday.?It?s all paying respect and loving the game,? Peters said of his touchdown celebration. ?? Who knows if this [is] Marshawn?s last year playing in the league. S?, we was up, closed the game out, no better way to go out in Oakland. Who knows the next time we?ll get to play the Raiders in Oakland. They?re going to Vegas in what, a year and a half??Peters and Lynch have a close relationship? Peters refers to the 32-year-old back as his cousin. Lynch was suspended for one game last season after making contact with an official while breaking up a fight between Peters, then with the Kansas City Chiefs, and several Raiders offensive linemen. Peters testified on Lynch?s behalf during an unsuccessful appeal attempt.?This was something that he had discussed with him before, if he was going to be able to make a play like that,? head coach Sean McVay told ESPN. ?So it was a good way for those guys to kind of have an inside joke Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , laugh about it, and I think it all was in fun and lighthearted.?Quite the costly joke. It?s a tradition unlike any other, especially since it?s a tradition that could end in any given year.Via Max Olson of TheAthletic.com, 49 of 144 players who left college with remaining eligibility went undrafted in 2019.As noted last night, for some of the players who quickly signed as undrafted free agents (like Bills quarterback Tyree Jackson), not being drafted is arguably better than being picked late in the process. Still, more than a few of the guys who could have kept playing college football decided to stop playing college football in order to play pro football, and now they may never will.Of course, this doesn?t mean that more college football would have made them any better. (For some reason, it?s typically assumed that more college football makes a player into a better pro prospect; there?s a chance he?s as good as he?s ever going to be.) But it does mean that it?s too late for them to return to playing for no pay, even though they?ve officially gotten no pay to play.So why wouldn?t college football let players test the waters and then return to college football if they aren?t drafted, or if they don?t like where or how low they went? First, that approach would cause more players with remaining eligibility to roll the dice and possibly leave, thinning the ranks of college football. Second, it would make NFL teams potentially squander draft picks on guys who then say ?no thanks? to playing under a low-round contract for a low-rent team, and return to school in the hopes of landing in a higher slot and/or with a better team a year later.The current system works for college football and pro football because it forces players to make an ?all-in? decision, prompting plenty of them to choose to stay put. Then, each year, the NCAA and the NFL can point to the guys who made the James Holzhauer Daily Double move and lost in order to scare future players with remaining college eligibility to continue to bust their asses ? and risk their necks (and the rest of their bodies) ? by playing football for free.
