ST. LOUIS -- Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford will have season-ending shoulder surgery and expects to enter the NFL draft in April.

The Oklahoma quarterback injured his right, throwing shoulder twice this season, most recently against Texas on Oct. 10.

The school announced Sunday that Dr. James Andrews will perform the operation Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala. Bradford is expected to address reporters following the Sooners' practice on Monday night in Norman, Okla.

Bradford will hold a news conference at 6 p.m. Monday.

"I dreamed about coming to Oklahoma my whole life," Bradford said Sunday in a statement. "That's the reason I came back for this season. And I came back to play, not sit on the bench. That's the reason I tried to play after the injury. I'm very disappointed that it didn't work out differently.

"Under these circumstances, and after talking to several people, this is the right thing for me to do at this point."

This isn't really news
He wont go as high as he would have if he went into the draft last year, but he still should be picked in the late first round early second round range.

As much as I hate to say it, I would like to see him drafted by Washington so I could watch him play in The NFC East. They could use the help.

I feel bad for the kid he seems to be a really personable guy.
