With the o line shaping up for next season, he would certainly benefit for staying. But that is LSU. I really don't know what this draft class looks like for backs nor do I know what next years looks like, but I'm a selfish prick and like his outlook for staying considering his seniority.
It's been an honor watching him play for us. Truly a blessing. That being said, he should go. The football life of a RB is too short to risk it. .
Is that an incentive to stay? Rookie contracts are shit if you are outside of the first round. Maybe he is thinking get healthy, get a degree, boost draft stock, and get a better contract. Many RB careers are shorter than the rookie contract period.
he is a running back they have limited years and he is a likely first rounder... he will leave even if his heart is telling him to stay
I don’t think he is first rounder, maybe not even 2nd. Check out AP All American teams, yes, not all the backs ate elidgble, the three reams include a lot of football platers. I hope he comes back, has a great senior year, and is drafted really high.
What a testament it would be for him to graduate with a degree from LSU. After the life he’s had he deserves it. He has displayed everything you want in a student-athlete!
