Baby Sends Ardmore Resident to NFL Draft
Temple running back Bernard Pierce says that starting a family is a factor in his decision to enter the 2012 NFL draft.
Bernard Pierce, an Ardmore native and Temple University running back, said that having a baby due was a motivator in his decision to enter the NFL draft, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Pierce, who attended the Glen Mills School before playing at Temple, said that having a baby due in July was a "deciding factor" for his decision, but that other considerations, like wear and tear, also weighed in.
Pierce had 27 touchdowns for Temple during the 2011 season.
