Shelvin you are a bad combine away from going Undrafted. I am not sure what you think you are protecting by opting out. A 6th round draft grade?

Gonna be protecting his star role on the show My 600 Pound Life without working out with the team

Chase makes sense as he's proven himself to the league. Shevlin has not. A 350+ pound guy is NOT going to impress much. Mistake. He needed to get in the 330 range. He won't by not playing, by not being in the structure of the program. He'll be 400 soon. Mistake.

Another quitter

Well frick I'm opting out too. What the hells the point anymore

CanebreakCajun•44 months

I’m opting out too. Saving the $10,000 I spend a season traveling to see all the games.

Revelator•44 months

They might as well throw in the towel. These guys don’t want to play anymore.

cajunguy•44 months

Probably could not get his weight down and get back into playing shape. Wonder if will still have a team or a JV squad competing in the sec this season

Random LSU Hero•44 months

Lol chicken little

DeafVallyBatnR•44 months

This guy will be as big as a house without playing by the time the combine starts

Amazing how Alabama gets all their players to return yet all of ours jump ship as quickly as they can.

Covid19 Not gonna be a season anyway

Nicer Condo's and better lease options from Mercedes & BMW

Ghost of Colby•44 months

He was draft eligible this year. Doesn’t make much sense to come back, then opt out.

Tiger4life5803•44 months

Pretty sure Shelvin tweeted WeWantToPlay, as did Chase

BleedgurpleTX•44 months

Short term memory. It doesn’t fit their narrative that they are being fed by idiots...

Jacobian Guillory beat him out.

Don't blame this on that pussy virus GTFO. Chase is NFL ready Shelvin IMO needed another year.

Water Mocassin•44 months

Complete BS. He’s hurting himself if time. This F the team attitude is disgusting.

OU812•44 months

He will be 500 lbs by April and the draft

paleoTiger•44 months

Damn! I love the "next man up" philosophy, but at some point, the next man up is a walk-on or different position player. Best wishes to the big man, but I really wanted to see him wreck shite this year.

LSUDAN1•44 months

Got their rings so now they are bailing.

CanebreakCajun•44 months

This shite is getting stupid. It’s getting harder and harder man.

Gumbo1•44 months

Well shite! Although I respect their decisions, we're losing the whole damn team

LesnarF5•44 months

If he comes back he'll be about 400 lbs.

GeauxTigers80•44 months

Everyone got their rings. This season is a wash.

DeplorableTigerFan•44 months

Wonder what agent are forking cash out and giving advise. Poor decision for him. He needs the structure of the team and to develop his talent more. All things equal i am drafting the guy that stuck with his team. Says a lot for a none top 10 pick.

BabyTac•44 months

You’d draft a losing team

AugustaTiger•44 months

Opting out to go in the 5th or 6th round of the draft. Nice decision.
