Jahvid Best's season officially ended. Cal coach Jeff Tedford announced that Best, sidelined since Nov. 7 because of a concussion and lingering back injury, will not play in next week's Poinsettia Bowl against Utah. The tailback with electrifying speed, has submitted paperwork to the NFL draft advisory committee, seeking feedback on when he might be selected in April. The deadline to enter the draft is Jan. 15. Best could go as high as late in the first round if he decides to turn pro. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. lists Best as the 20th-best NFL prospect in the nation, and the No. 2 running back behind Clemson senior C.J. Spiller. Todd McShay doesn't project Best becoming a first-round pick. His stock could rise significantly if he shows NFL scouts he's healthy.
