SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Oklahoma wide receiver Malcolm Kelly is one of several players who will have to decide whether to come back for their senior season or enter the NFL draft following the Fiesta Bowl.

Kelly, who many project as OU’s highest pick if he goes, said he hasn’t made a decision.

He and many of the Sooner juniors applied with the NFL to be evaluated for the draft this month. The NFL gives players a rough estimate where they’ll be picked. Kelly said he won’t make a decision until he gets that back from the league and his family discusses it with OU coach Bob Stoops.

“As of right now, I’m still coming back.” he said. “I have not had any paperwork come back in, so I am still coming back next year. We’ll see more on that after the season, but I expect to be back.”

Kelly said there’s a pretty big pull among OU’s junior class to remain together because the Sooners would have a pretty good shot at a national championship if everyone returns.

“A lot of talent on offense and defense will be back,” Kelly said. “There’s no reason why we shouldn’t win it all.”

Fine dining

Sooner players have been sampling everything the Scottsdale area has to offer. OU quarterback Sam Bradford said what he’s liked most about the trip is the weather and the food.

Skies have been sunny and temperatures have been in the 50s and 60s every day OU has been here. And Bradford wasn’t raving about restaurants with expensive menus.

“In-N-Out Burger was good,” Bradford said. “We don’t have those in Oklahoma, so we’ve been enjoying them.

In-N-Out Burger is a fast-food restaurant with franchises in California, Nevada and Arizona. There’s one down the street from the hotel OU is staying at and another in close proximity to its practice headquarters at Pinnacle High School.

“I think everyone has been there at least once,” Bradford said.
