Just came on Masconas show and said he's going pro to take care of his daughter who's currently living in the projects. Wants to take care of his momma.

Could he have come back and played better? Yeah. But how are you gonna blame the kid? Cut the lame bashing shite out and support the guy.

Good luck in the pros Freak, I know I'll be pulling for ya

I don't understand why people like to bash people like that. Freak played a big role in recruiting Players to LSU. He will be a part of the DLU legacy of LSU.

I don't remember seeing him getting bashed for leaving early. Pretty sure we expected him to go.

I hope and wish the best for Johnson he is and always will be a Tiger.

That being said just another LSU player not seeing the big picture. Johnson more than the rest if he came back and had the break out year that everyone has always said he could and should, definitely could have improved his draft status because it only takes one year's worth of performance to do that on the DL. Just ask our recent DL-men.

If he is picked 3rd round or below the odds say he will not be in the NFL for his 2nd contract. But it improves over 50% if he is in the 2nd round. I wish I had a link to the article I just read but it gave all the numbers on what happens depending on where you are picked "what round" in the NFL and the odds as to how long you will actually be in the league. And 3rd round or below the percentages of you making it to your second contract are very slim.

Of all the early entrants "Turner & Freak" have the best possibility of moving up dramatically in the draft next year if they were to have good years in college next year. I hate to see these players that really, really have a great chance to be successful in the NFL cut there college career's short because they see money that really isn't there in the long run.

In this light, my mind will never produce another negative thought about Freak's decision to leave early. Best of luck, Freak!

Honestly haven't seen anyone bashing. I've seen people say they thought he needed another year in school. That doesn't equal bashing.

FWIW, I'd never blame a guy for doing what he has to do. Family or not. It's not right to expect a guy to turn down an NFL paycheck so he can come back and amuse us.

I don't remember much bashing. I thought Freak and Ego both needed improvement and another year would help, but fully understand an NFL paycheck.

I'm not bashing the guy, but I made it a point to not have kids until I was financially able to. How hard is it to pull out or wear a condom? I'm tired of people using kids as an excuse for everything.

Solid player, not as good as guys before him, will still get drafted.
