Over 1000 yards - 4.9 per carry, and only played 11 games? Not bad! Injuries happen, and if he does great next year, I doubt it's Chow, it's simply him being healthy.

Now that he's lost Norm Chow, is there still time for Leinart to change his mind and enter this year's NFL draft if he wanted to?

Leinart cannot go in the regular draft but he can declare for a supplemental draft that would be held separately.

Thanks, what do you think is the likelihood of him doing that? I've never really fully understood the supplemental draft

I've heard there's a slight chance of him making himself available for the supplemental draft, but it's a very slight chance.

Here's some basics on how it works

I don't know anyone who has any connection at all to USC and/or its football team so I have no idea what Leinart may be thinking on this nor do I have any way to tell you what the rumor mill is saying. But my understanding is that he can declare for a supplemental draft because his incoming class has already "graduated".
