Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

LSU star cornerback Greedy Williams announced Sunday on Twitter that he will enter the 2019 NFL Draft.

In the Tweet, Williams did not specify whether or not he will skip the Fiesta Bowl but an LSU official confirmed to The Advocate that he will not play in the game.

Williams will not play in the Fiesta Bowl, an LSU official confirmed.

Several media organizations predict Williams will be a Top 10 pick in the NFL Draft, including CBS Sports, which predicts Williams will be selected No. 3 overall.

Williams is a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given annually to the top defensive back in the nation and is expected to be a top 10 draft pick.

At the time of Williams' announcement, head coach Ed Orgeron was speaking on the Fiesta Bowl Teleconference and said that he has not spoken with any players about skipping the postseason game but will sort that all out soon.

Now will he play in the bowl game?

Vernonbrew22•65 months

I think he plays for sure. It is in his N La DNA. Like DW, he balls purple and gold

conman•65 months

I hope he plays but understand if he skips it

coachw•65 months

He mailed it in the last month anyway....

This comment isn’t surprising coming from the guy who wants to get rid of Aranda... And I’ll say what I said then, you’re a clown

You're an idiot and, as mentioned before, a clown

He's a complete prospect. Skilled lockdown corner with a rare combination of size and agility. He will make a great pro.

CDawson•65 months

Most guys with that skill set are under 6' tall. When you have that skill set and tremendous length like Greedy it makes you a total monster in coverage.

Vernonbrew22•65 months

Who joins him in early Departure U? They have the makings of a monster next year

SouthernInsanity•65 months

At least there wasn't anything drawn out about his decision. Best of luck youngster.

Spankum•65 months

Best of luck to Greedy...I look forward to watching him on Sundays next year. Thanks for being a Tiger!

boomtapp•65 months

Accidental downvote. I accept any punishment I am given.

Tiger_n_ATL•65 months

Go on and be Greedy and get your Money, don’t let the door hit you in the arse on your way out.

Go on and be Greedy and get your Money, don’t let the door hit you in the arse on your way out.

PortHudsonPlaya•65 months

Going to bet an unlimited amount of money that you’ve never stepped foot in a classroom at LSU.

Go on and be Greedy and get your Money, don’t let the door hit you in the arse on your way out.

BananaHammock•65 months

Please ban this “maroon”.

WhiskeyPlease•65 months

He is not ready,,,,

BowDownToLSU•65 months

He’s a top 5 pick ... ready or not he will make more than you would in two lifetimes

Charlie Arglist•65 months

He should go to the bowl game and take out their best player on the first play with a targeting call. WIN-WIN!

G I Jeaux•65 months

If you are on a team, you don't dump the team.

PB_1951•65 months

Wonder if any Alabama players going in the draft will skip their final games?

habanos•65 months

Nah, they aint Greedy.

Philzilla2k•65 months

Alabama isn’t playing in a meaningless bowl game.

lsudemon52•65 months

Couldn't have a better name!

LouisianaLonghorn•65 months

Yep. Greedy is right. He needs to stay in BR and not trsvel with the team.

LouisianaLonghorn•65 months

I hope LSU makes him stay in BR and doesn't let him travel with the team to the game.

RightHook•65 months

thanks for being a great tiger and carrying on dbu. good luck and hope you have a great career. i wouldn't risk 15+ million dollars by getting hurt in a bowl game either. #geauxtigers

HonoraryCoonass•65 months

The OT of the aTm game should put to rest any farcical claims LSU has to being DBU.

Ghost of Colby•65 months

Hate to see him skip the bowl, but he’s a Top 10 draft pick. That’s a $20M+ salary. Why risk it? A small slide to the mid 2nd would cost him close to 15 million dollars. I want to criticize him, but I can’t.

TIGERsinceCONCEPTION•65 months

You’re using logic and not being a fanatic....

reauxl tigers•65 months

This isn't the Citrus Bowl for fricks sake.

CanebreakCajun•65 months

exactly, derrius played and he was hurt half the year.

Brobocop•65 months

And Derrius was playing injured injured. And instead of healing up and sitting out of the bowl game, what happening to Derrius in preseason this year? You have no clue what is going on in these kids life. The only thing that stands between them and their life changing entirely is showing up to the draft healthy. That's it.

BigTimer23•65 months

Yeah I wouldn’t use Derrius as an example as to why you should play in a bowl game, given it didn’t look like he ever fully recovered, and everyone saw what happened in the preseason...

TigerSpray•65 months

Quitter Williams.

PortHudsonPlaya•65 months

Best of luck, young man. Thank you for being a Tiger!

eddieray•65 months

We need him in the bowl game. We’ll be missing Fulton. Our backups hurt us against A M
