Does anyone think that Russell Shepard gets drafted?

Size- way too skinny; not tall enough by NFL standards.
Speed-below average by NFL standards
Hands-below average for a college receiver
Blocking- Nothing special that I saw.
Exactly why is he going pro and does he honestly think he will get drafted based on his highschool career?
I wish him the best though.

Probably not. But his high school film sure looks great.

You are insane.
Just because he was ridiculously misused here does not mean he wont get drafted.
He will blow up in the combines in the 40, shuttle and Vertical... someone will take a flyer on him.
His handling will go down as one of the most classic mishandlings in recent memory.

I doubt it. Not as a WR anyway.

14 receptions for 190 yards
What do you think?

Depends on what kind of numbers he can throw up at the proday and/or combine.
Kid could honestly have a better pro career than college career. It has happened before.

It's people who criticize him like this that makes it no surprise he is leaving to get away from all of this

I do admit that he could have been used a little better, but some of you are just way crazy with thinking some of our players are better than they are.
This debate reminds me alot of the stuff that was said when T. Holliday was still here. "If only we would get the ball to him".

no. the guy is just not good enough to cut in the NFL. he would be better served to get his degree. i hope i am wrong, but i doubt i am.

If he stayed in School for another year he could be drafted pretty high. Whether at LSU or elsewhere. He's pretty raw still and needs to get more experience.

We hear this all the time about athletes going to the NFL....
How many underutilized players left LSU and are doin very well in the NFL......
We always hear about an athlete being too small,not fast enough, he's not ready for the nfl,etc....
Give it a break.....

And he would get alot more of that with a better qb like LSU would have next year.
There was no chance in hell he was going to ever be a great QB in college or the NFL. He needs to practice another year for his slot and wr skills to have a chance in the NFL.

Even coming out of high school he was considered a 4.4 guy. Take into account the BS'ing of high school numbers and he's not going blow anyone way. Hell a 4.4 isn't considered anything special.

Kind of fast small receivers who run bad routes and have bad hands are a dime a dozen.

Or transfer at least. I could respect that.

6th round at the earliest...I would be surprised if that early.

He has great speed north and south but his problem was little lateral quickness. I know everyone likes RS but let's get off his nuts if you wanna be a realist. He's undersized with little production. He'll have scouts looking at him but there's not enough tape to draft him. Undrafted free agent, who will probably be a practice squad guy his first year.

Undrafted free agent and won't make a roster.
