Grossman still undecided about future plans

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida quarterback Rex Grossman is still deciding whether to leave college for the NFL or stay with the Gators for his senior season.\n"I actually haven't made up my mind yet," he said Tuesday.\nGrossman, a junior who was Indiana's 1998 high school Mr. Football at Bloomington South, also said he probably won't submit his name to the NFL Draft Advisory Board, which informs players where they will likely be drafted. Grossman said he has information from last year that he can rely on.\n"I'm still 6-foot-1, I'm still not the prototypical NFL quarterback," he said. "They know what I can do."\nNo. 22 Florida is preparing for the Outback Bowl against No. 12 Michigan, on Jan. 1. Grossman said he will decide on his future over the next few weeks. Most underclassmen announce their decisions after the bowl game.\nOn Monday, the quarterback said: "I think I pretty much know whether I'll come out or not." But on Tuesday he said he hadn't made up his mind.\nConsidered a top Heisman candidate at the beginning of the year, he finished with 3,079 yards, 20 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. That compares to 3,896 yards, 34 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 2001 when he was a Heisman finalist.\nFlorida coach Ron Zook said he will call his NFL contacts to try to help Grossman determine where he could be drafted. Zook, though, did not indicate that a decision has been made.
