Georgia quarterback Eric Zeier said Monday he will not skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft. "The only way I would have considered going pro would be if I were convinced I would be a first-

or second-round draft choice," Zeier said at a news conference. "The consensus of opinion was that I would have gone in the third or fourth round." Zeier set a Southeastern Conference record for passing yards in a season at 3,525.
