It was your own doing. Hopefully thats part of the lesson you learned.

If it doesn't sit well with you why wouldn't you come back

It didn't matter until the draft stock started dropping.

It was just a tweet to be able to implement a trendy reference to Drake's new song "God's Plan". Highly likely nothing was actually learned.

Anything higher than a 3rd pick is a risk.

Top 5 talent. Anywhere outside 1st is an absolute steal

"Top 5 talent".... yep, but questionable heart, maturity, motor, etc.

Don’t know if in all my years(30) of watching Tiger football I’ve seen a bigger fall from grace amongst LSU fans regarding how they feel about a player one year to the next based on performance. Not saying he doesnt deserve it one way or another. Just making a statement

I'd propose JJ, but then again he would have had to have consistently good performance at some point.

I thought about JJ too definitely after his NC performance but he never had AK type hope to dominate

Seems like spin in preparation for the combine and draft process to me. He sees an obvious issue and is trying to get in front of it.

So he waited until the eve of the combine to tweet that? The only thing not sitting well with Key is his dropping draft stock.

Stay 1 more year and gain an additional $15 million or go pro early. Easy choice at LSU go pro.

Based on his selfishness all freaking offseason and during the season! Based on him sitting the bowl game. Based on his taking plays off. You need more?

This is what Saban excels at. These players like key don't get to play until their junior or senior year at Alabama so they going to ball out before they get out. Where is it LSU we are relying on freshmen and sophomores to be the those players.

Just off the top of my head, Hurt, Fitzpatrick, Ridley, Damien Harris all played significant roles as underclassmen.

Huge disappointment. He played LSU last year instead of playing for LSU.

Can’t these guys get a little slack? I mean isn’t part of playing at LSU having the fans behind you forever? I forgot, when we were 20 we all made perfect decisions with the maturity of a 40 year old.

"I mean isn’t part of playing at LSU having the fans behind you forever?".....no. Just because someone plays here doesn't mean they're absolved of all bad behavior. That's just being a blind homer.

The next Lawrence Taylor baby! I'm telling you pass rushers are like closers in baseball. A little nutty. Not really great at other parts of the position. Everybody questions their work ethic. Next thing you know they are averaging 10 sacks a year or 40 saves a year and your like how the hell did we miss on this guy?

So Lawrence Taylor was a pass rusher ?

I agree with you Skinny, Lawernce Taylor changed the position forever. Key is in that mold.

Arden Key had a down year, but was still voted 1st team by the SEC coaches. That should tell you something about his junior year. His stock will skyrocket after the combine. He like most rookies not in the top 10 of the draft get the big payday on the second contract. He made a good decision and he is a rare talent. He should have been able to declare for the draft at the end of his sophmore year just like Fournette should have been able to do so.

Or it says the SEC Coaches (or interns/SID) don’t take that request seriously or have the time/data to make an honest assessment.

Is Key now apologizing to LSU fans and doing it cause his agent said it would make his resume look better for draft?
