By signing with Zuckerman's firm today, Bess' decision becomes irreversible.
"He's not going back to school," Zuckerman said.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Bess based his decision on his strong season (108 catches, 1,266 yards, 12 touchdowns), his good health and a strong rating from an NFL advisory committee, Zuckerman said.
Zuckerman said Bess earned second-round ratings from three evaluators.
Bess also returned punts the past two seasons. He led the Warriors this season with 16 returns for 169 yards and a 10.6 average.
