Comparing joe Haden with jalen mills is silly.


Using the 40 time only to judge a player is even more ridiculous, dude.

This dude runs away from contact. Go back through film and watch it. He literally slows up so he doesn't have to hit. Maybe he was trying to save his body for the league after prior injuries??? Or the injury lingers in his mind and he now fears contact. Either way, his ability to be physical and stay healthy will determine how long he stays in the NFL.

As has been said, Mills was a solid player for LSU, but nothing more. He was never great, like some want to believe, but never terrible, like others want to believe.

I see his NFL career being very similar to Tharold Simon's.


ETA: I was never a big fan of Mills, but I think he can be a solid 3rd or 4th corner in the league. Also, he can be a good special teams player.

I wonder if he feels like he should've left last year now. He was mocked in the first in some mock drafts.

My name represents the great tradition we have. Players such as Patrick Peterson, Tyran Mathieu, Chad Jones, Eric Reid, Mo Claiborne, Laron Landry. Jalen Mills isn't on their level.


Did any one of those guys actually stay 4 years, maybe Jones? So a guy that spends 4 years as a starter isn't part of this great tradition? 4 years as a starter, after those guys, but he doesn't represent part of the great DB legacy at LSU. Our fans are awful.

Oh, and you have no clue about his pro prospects, just saying.

Not a great time...but all other measurables were in good shape. He turned A LOT of heads at the senior bowl. Dude was lights out. He will be fine...

he will be out of the league in 2-3 years. Not good enough to play corner and not an elite safety either. Good luck to him


I guarantee you are off your rocker. He will have a long career as a free safety who can cover. Bet your bank account on it and you would end up broke.

Take that DBU out of your name. You don't even have a F'ing clue.
