LSU DE Arden Key To Take Time Away From Football

Hope he gets things sorted out, whatever those things may be. Tiger Nation is praying for you Arden. Come back when you're ready

Thoughts and prayers go out to you Arden. Hope to see you back soon.

Yeah for all the people on various social media platforms saying that this is a huge loss for the Tigers and speculating that he's gonna quit football for good; these people are idiots. I don't know Arden Key personally, but I do know that he is 100% committed to LSU and I know that regardless of how severe his personal problems are, Arden will re-join the team (hoepfully before the Spring Game). With that being said, I hope all is well with Arden and his family but like I said, there's no way in hell he doesn't suit up against BYU.

This reminds me of Pig Howard at Tennessee. It's strange, but I wish him the best and hope he returns sooner than later.

Oh Boy! Don't like this at all

WOW! the potential number one pick next year taking some time off as in what time? spring ball, summer. I hope he is is back for the fall if not the defense just toke a major hit!!

Good luck in whatever you're dealing with. We're rooting for ya!

Hope is mom gets better soon.

Drugs....that's what Matt Moscona said.

There are things that are more important than football. This is a man-sized decision, that I am sure was difficult and painful to make. I hope he has a positive outcome to whatever the issue is.

Still 6 months away from the start of the season, plenty of time

Academic reasons. ..need to take care things in the classroom. Will be back at end of summer.

1st rd. NFL money will cure whatever ails him. No one would turn that down. A death in the family would be public record, so it isn't that. Not my business anyway. Good luck, prayers, and best wishes, Arden! See you in September!

I wonder if this has anything to do with that game he missed... I don't know what's wrong with him and pray it's nothing serious and pray for the young man he is and man he will become. As someone who battled demons in life when I was younger, put your full commitment towards that (or his issue) and worry about football last right now. Just remember, whatever it is can be overcome and you'll have plenty of support, but you just have to ask, which is sometimes difficult for prideful people. Good luck Arden, prayers to you and your family.

Hope he gets through whatever it is he has going on. I'm sure it is a high priority matter if he is taking time away from football to address it. I'm fine with him missing the spring game. He knows the defense inside and out so I don't foresee any drop off in production if he comes back for the season opener. Get whatever it is you need taken care of Arden and know the all of Tiger Nation loves and supports you always. Tiger forever!

Lsu is having more drama and crises than the Trump administration. What the hail is going on?

One of my favorite college players. Hope things work out for him and his family. I wanted him at Auburn. Love the way he plays the game.

Take the time you need Arden. We'll be here when you get back!
