Arden Key Tweets About His Disappointing Junior Season

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.

Went from top 5 pick to mid-late 1st round pick.. Blew millions for himself

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

The entire purpose of this tweet is summed up i that last line "The Georgia native is currently preparing for the NFL Combine in Phoneix, AZ." This 'is just damage control. Someone finally figured out that NFL teams don't want a lazy arse. This is the spin that his agent is telling him to put out there in advance of the combine / draft hoping some dumbass GM from a team like Cleveland bites on.

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

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.

Well isn't that wonderfull? Arden Key takes some mysterious time off and comes back out of shape. He wasted a year and now is proud he allegedly learned "a life lesson" at LSU's expense. Good for you Mr. Key. What a horrible team mate. Bye.

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.

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

Almost always root for the ex-Tigers. This guy not so much, I felt he quit on his team and that is disappointing. Don't see much happening for him at the next level.

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

A quitter that I could care less about.

Do your thing key whoever drafts him is getting a beast

I don't get it with him, if it was so disappointing why not stay at Lau, get your degree and get better than what you did in your junior year. He already got his mind on the draft now so hope he gets drafted where he wants. But why think about your disapointing season to his standards when you can do something bout it- stay one more year.....

Well he could have applied those lessons to his senior year...

Well, one thing is for sure, the NFL will find out what his "personal issues" were this past offseason. It may affect his draft stock too. I hope he goes early and has a long, prosperous NFL career. Good luck arden.

He quit well before his junior year, so what lessons did you learn exactly? That the third year of a high-profile players' collegiate tenure is useless?

Probably had a good doobie and started feeling melancholy

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

The dumb ones are the scouts...they'll see this and say "see he's matured now, he even spoke if his poor play in college", and they'll draft him higher. I'm proud of tigers who make the league. But when a kid has self discipline issues in college, very seldom do they disappear and not resurface. This kid has to stay in shape year round for the NFL....I don't see him doing that effectively once he has pockets full of cash and 5 months to chill. Troy was the worse I've seen an LSU Dr play in 30 years..I don't give a frick if he was out of shape, he was easily the worst player on the field and probably the slowest. I still can't believe Aranda played him! In my eyes, that who lost that game
