It was a sad day for Maurice Clarett fans. He now knows the feeling of being cut by an NFL team. Today the Denver Broncos who drafted Clarett in the third round of this year's Draft parted ways with the rookie running back formerly of the Ohio State University Buckeyes.

The Broncos choose Clarett as a back with unlimited potential. Even though he has not played in two seasons, remember as a freshman, Maurice led his Ohio State University Buckeyes to the College National Championship. It seems now that if Clarett had been allowed to be drafted a season earlier the result might still be the same. He is a long way from his playing days at OSU. It is likely that Clarett will receive tryouts with other teams before the NFL season starts, but this might be his last shot at remaining in professional football.

The critics may now raise their heads. Many thought the Broncos wasted a pick on Clarett and right now they are appear to be prophetic. Let us not rush to judgment, because Maurice could still become a productive back in the NFL.
