You're right saintsfan, but why tweet you're an Eagle before the draft is over.

Cause he was embarrassed by going undrafted.

Draft wasn't over when he tweeted that.

Everybody knew he wasn't getting drafted, we didn't have to wait to hear the picks.

Doesn't Shep have a agent that's supposed to, you know, tell him that this isn't allowed?


Maybe he hired this guy??

Only thing that makes this better is if he got drafted in the 7th after the tweet.

"Saw that on Sportscenter this morning. They were laughing as well. Shep must be literally a moron. He said specifically teams were calling him in the 6th round and he told them he basically didn't want to get drafted by them because he already signed a 3-year deal with the Eagles as a free agent."


"According to a source in the LSU athletic department, Shepard communicated the details of the NCAA inquiry into LSU's involvement with Lyles to his cousin, sophomore safety Craig Loston."

I'm saying the teams convince the kids to sign as an UFA telling them they know they won't get drafted. Pray on their desperation.


1. It is against the rules for them to sign as an UDFA before the draft is over.
2. Even if they did sign or orallly agreed to terms before the draft is over, if they wind up getting drafted by anyone, the UDFA agreement would be null & void.

So that would be a pretty stupid "preying on" strategy by the teams.

I don't have any sympathy for Shep anymore after all his antics. If he was half as good as the Rantards think he is, he would have seen the field more. He can't catch, can't break tackles, and runs a 4.5.

Right, number 7 is sooo far off. LINK

Number 3 for 247 LINK


Manti Te'o was rated just behind him.

I guess players in that draft class just liked to make shite up.

I wonder if Shepard understands that while he signed a 3 year deal, it's non-guaranteed contract and he can very easily be cut during mini-camp without being owed any money.

Stopped reading past there. Answer: No, he does not understand.

It's the same people. They hate Shep because some people feel he was misused by their god.

I don't hate him, I just never thought he was that smart and he is reinforcing that.

I really don't care. He obviously dealt with the Eagles before the draft was over. How he views it is no business of mine.

It's just strange seeing the same people (you) bashing Shep in ever Shep thread. Nah, it ain't strange, we know why.

No, it was not smart.

But I don't see a need to rip him to shreds.

I don't really get why people seem to love bashing him. It is clear that many LSU fans in here would love to see him fail and indeed are rooting for it.

He commented once that he liked A&M's offense. So what?

He made a vague reference once or twice about being misused. So what?

He made a comment about how he thinks he can play in the NFL. So what?

Now this draft thing was a silly thing to say. But in the grand scheme of things, his transgressions seem slight. So much hate for so little.

shite, they've been doing it for several years, no reason for them to stop now.


I honestly don't know how anyone could hate Shep, but there are a handful here that do. I mean every Shep thread, there they are bashing him for anything they can possibly find.
