Obviously Malachi had some personal deficiencies that hurt him but with his physical tools in this offense he probably would have been a multi-year 1000 yd WR and top 3 round pick.

False. Numbers would have been better, but a good bit of Dupre's issues are between the ears. Couldn't see him going in the top two rounds

So after being with multiple NFL teams why hasn't he succeeded?

Kinda sounds like Uncle Rico "If only the coach had put me in, in the 4th quarter"


Im going with FALSE for 100

Maybe the jug machine would’ve helped him not drop everything

False. He had opportunities in the pros. Only difference may have been a longer contract.

Excluding his high school system, bad QB play and terrible play calling concerning the passing game at LSU during that time, he still probably would’ve had issues.

Maybe he progresses with the current regime, but he was easily jammed at the line and abused by whomever lined up in front of him. His hands left quite a bit to be desired and couldn’t utilize some of his best attributes, such as high pointing the ball with a good vert.

False. He was probably the worst tall WR I’ve ever seen at high pointing a ball.

Why do people always attribute Dupre to the scheme? Dupre started all 3 years. He had a ton of opportunities. It’s the lesser known guys like Dural and Gage who would’ve benefited most.

Dupre was somehow a bigger disappointment than Brandon Harris.

What was Jim Leonhard’s quote about LSU’s WR group? “They’re big but they don’t play big”? Something like that.

He was talking about Dupre

False.

He flashed a ton of potential but count make it work.

Guys have come from the archaic system and still been successful. Such as Chark, Rueben, Odell, Jarvis and Lafell.

Hell Russell Gage is still in the league.

Malachi should have been a first rounder but for some reason never put it all together

Would not even happen, reason why he was on LSU way before those two came to LSU. End of story. Move to what LSU has : )

He had the yips. Would have been 4th best receiver on this team. Brady could have made him a better receiver though.

He could not make it with Aaron Rodgers


He had all the physical ability. Just could not take over a game and win the 1 on 1 battles
