WOW. Maybe Saban has told some NFL scouts to over rate the LSU players to decimate their roster. Either that or most know their stock isnt going up much if they come back.

Uh,. what? I highly doubt you find anyone on here who thinks the same about Ford. He was a 1-trick pony back and that's about it.

Hope he holds up.

He should have been returning kicks all season IMO.

Looks like Hill and Blue are our mainstays next year. Hopefully they and Hilliard can say healthy.

He won't have much of a future in the NFL.

He's a 3rd down back at best. Who can't pass protect.

He'll go undrafted.

But good luck anyway!

I agree, but he may go very late to a team impressed with measurables. He will run a 4.5 or under at 220-225 pounds and bench press 225 maybe more than any other RB.

not shocking. like with ware, what exactly did anybody expect him to do to improve his stock next year?

might as well roll the dice now and hope he can stick on a roster and possibly develop and stay for a little while
