Stupid move, no way he is ready. Seriously though, he's the best LB to ever wear the purple and gold. Good luck big man. Carry your dominance to the pros.

Greedy left LSU with a frick you video. During the Fiesta Bowl, the screen kept showing “NFL Draft” for why Greedo wasn’t playing. It should have said what is reality: He QUIT!
