Idk man....it's def possible. I'm kinda torn on this. I understand why he's not playing in the bowl game but I'm liking this trend less and less. Especially in Arden's situation. There's no way he can look in the mirror and say he gave it his all this year. Almost looked like he lost that hunger and desire to just wreck shite. He looked happy going through the motions.

And it sucks to say that because it's a knock on his character. And that's not what I want to do but my eyes don't lie to me. Good luck dude. I wish you the best...I really do.

What about when he set LSU’s season sack record?

So you are saying they pay them in playoff games? Or are you saying winning a NC is more important than becoming rich? I mean, I'm confused. If it is pride playing in and winning nc, most have pride for team. If you are one that puts yourself and potential $$ over team


Hit the nail on the head! Adams & White were both first rounders and they both played the bowl game last year as a TRUE team player should!

Kid is a good player but tbh I’m glad to be done with this soap opera. Best of luck to him in the NFL.


Yep. The NFL was the only goal anyway. He showed enough last year for someone to get in his ear and tell him don’t risk anything. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is only going to get more common.

Exactly. Character matters. I hope Key falls to the 7th rd.

Irony is his draft stock has to take a hit due to the injuries, and he'd have a shot at restoring that stock next year with all the talent in the middle of that defensive line.

The silver lining for him now is he probably falls to a legitimate playoff contender who's able to roll the dice.

Less about injuries and more about whatever happened this spring and summer but people thinking his stock is tanking are kidding themselves. His performance in the Bama game this year will supersede any bad tape.

This isn't news. We all knew he wasn't playing. I'm not expecting Guice to play either.

He quit on his team. I would understand him sitting out the bowl game if he had busted his arse all year but the dude really lost himself money this year.

Good player. Doesn’t give two fricks about LSU. Ask yourself this... would Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, or Glenn Dorsey give a testicle to play one more game for LSU? Key has the chance but his pinkey is hurt

Pretty much sums it up. The guy went through some stuff in the off season and didn’t come back the same. Became selfish to some perspective. But he played for us so I wish him the best in his career. He just won’t go down as a legend here like Glenn Dorsey or others.

He’s going to have a very difficult time in the NFL, I’m afraid. You can’t play just when you feel like it and your off field BS will have you out of the league in a heartbeat if you’re not producing.
