I also had a problem with this player concerning the draft but not the same as yourself.
I drafted the player after the storylines saying he was going to stay in college. I drafted this kid yet the next season they are still talking about this guy in the storylines and he is a TE and a beast at that.
So what gives EA, another screw up, should of stuck with the same system as last year when it comes to storyline draft players. instead of completely ignoring us for a fix and pushing the next gen version of the game!
