LSU's Arden Key Declares For The NFL Draft

by Staff Reporter

Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports

As expected, LSU pass rusher Arden Key will forgo his senior season to enter the 2018 NFL Draft. The 6-6, 250-pound Key is projected to be first-round draft pick despite a rocky junior season. Per The Advocate:

Key, a Georgia native, set the single-season school sack record (12) in 2016 as a sophomore before a drama-filled junior year produced 4 sacks and five missed games. Coach Ed Orgeron announced earlier this month that Key would not participate in the Citrus Bowl against Notre Dame, citing his star’s health.

Key missed the final two games of the regular season with a knee injury, and he underwent surgery on a broken pinky finger immediately after the regular season.

The Lithonia, GA native went public with his draft decision on Twitter:

“After much consideration”, last year I suspect. Had one breakout season and decided to ride that all the way to a first rd. draft pick. Can’t blame him. Big life changing money awaits. I just wish athletes would come out and say they’re going pro and it was an easy choice. I don’t hold anything against Arden and I wish him a long and prosperous career. Thanks for being a Tiger!

Honey Badger 2.0, amazing freshman and sophomore years then the glorious green got the best of em. Hopefully he turns into a great pro like Mathieu. Good luck Key! It has been fun!

wow! what a surprise - never seen that coming. I wonder if he's aware that you have to attend practice in the NFL?

evanstontiger•101 months

Won't be playing for free anymore. He'll get there.

Nothing says sincerity like the notes app

tigersquad89•101 months

Yeah what the hell is with this? Why do they always use the note app?

Lsu101205•101 months

Because its the "easiest" way to skip the twitter character limit. Just write what you want to say on the notes app and take a screenshot and upload the screenshot. Its definitely not formal looking but it works.

Good luck!

Being a Tiger fan, I can not wish him well. He was not a team player and sets the wrong example for others. We are better off with a 2 star who appreciates the opportunity that LSU provides and doesn't quit on the team!!!

Hate to agree here but I 100% do this time. Something else I believe is that the head coach sets a standard for the direction he wants the program to go in by the leadership he allows on the field at all times during the season. Regardless of how good he “was” his attitude and offseason issues just would not have flown with most championship contending programs. JMO

Guys he's gonna be a 1st round pick. Yes I agree, I don't have much respect for him as far as his work ethic goes but he did help majorly in games. He did not set a good example for the younger players at all. Once a tiger always a tiger . Best of luck to you Arden.
