Todd McShay thinks he could move into round 1 after the combine.
Joey Bosa started the trend and the NFL didn’t care.
Not to mention the Arden Key who wasn't allowed to play his last several games for violation of team rules. NFL couldn't care less what happened in college.
Does RJ really say he is opting out to prepare for the draft? Horn I agree will get drafted... Izzy has barely PLAYED this year and had ONE good game last season?? Not sure he will even get drafted IF he gets healthy enough to participate in the combine... If he does not get healthy I feel pretty confident he will NOT get drafted. JMHO... but RJ.., Seriously? Surely nobody has told him he is headed for the NFL after this year? Shame to see someone flush their career down a toilet because of over inflated expectations...
There is a difference between Bosa, or Christian Mcaffrey doing it before a bowl game- sure fire first round pics skipped one meaningless bowl game vs a MAYBE second rounder and a couple others who aren’t even likely to get a sniff quitting mid-season. Someone has given a few of our guys really bad advice it seems. Not the first time it has happened.
Im not disagreeing only saying that the NFL doesn’t care about this if they think you can help them win.
I know- I am not implying these guys are not getting drafted because they left early. At worst it may lead to an extra question tossed into their interviews about character or dealing with adversity... I am saying RJ and Izzy are jot close to the hype Horn has as a high draft pick. Horn is project late first/ second round by most. At worst he might fall to the third depending on individual evals and team needs. Izzy had some hype after the UGA game last year, but he has been injured on and off all season and has literally gotten TOASTED when he was out their quite often. I just have not heard people taking about him in the top 3 rounds or so for some time. RJ is not a pro prospect currently, and obviously that freshman DL is not eligible, I assume he is planning to come back here or transfer next year.
Zaquandre White has asked to move from RB to safety. He's on the KO coverage team, so presumably he knows how to tackle. Might be a liability in pass coverage. But I sure do like his attitude. There are guys quitting (I understand why) but he wants to do whatever to get on the field.
Don’t hold your breath on the offense. According to Bobo we only have one competent offensive player and the other 10 are just out there making him look bad.
He's not far off the mark as far as the current offense. But he's thinking the good player is Hill. It's Harris and of course there's Shi.
This is true if you’ve actually proven yourself in college. I wish Mukuamu the best regardless but his reputation is based on performance in one game and measurables. Outside of that game, he has been largely average, and sticking around could have given him an opportunity to show improved performance.
