I wish Dupre would have returned obviously. However, I feel we have receivers who can easily match or exceed his production. I also feel based on his size and ability, he should be a good fit in the NFL, given the passing offenses that dominate the league now. Best of luck Malachi! Always a Tiger!

Good luck Dupre, make your money and represent LSU well in the NFL!

BayouBengal61•88 months

Should stay for another year

KB1854•88 months

He will be a star!!!

AustinKnight•88 months

As well as he may have played in the Canada system I feel we as a "Team" will play better without him. Kinda saw him as a me guy and not as tough as we need in SEC play.

When LSU finally gets to developing quality QBs and quality passing schemes WRs will again have fun times and want to stay longer.

Tigers4Lyfe•88 months

I doubt that. The pull from the NFL will always rule. Not always, but mostly.

5th rounder..

Mouche337•88 months

I wish him the best. I think another year, especially with the more balanced scheme that Canada will implement, would have boosted his draft stock up. He'll go mid 3 to early 4th. Who ever drafts him will be getting a steal tho! Because the talent is there. Miles and Cam just didn't utilize it.

CL8100•88 months

6th rounder at best, thats giving him the best possible option

9th Green At 9•88 months

Guess you didn't witness all of his drops? They tried to utilize him...

Mouche337•88 months

9th Green At 9: Yeah, I saw the drops. Terrell Owens had drop issues early too. So did Dez Bryant. His next WR coach will fix that. He doesn't even have to have a great WR coach. Just a decent one. His talent and potential will be too much for GMs to ignore. 1st rounder, no. 2nd rounder, not likely, 3rd rounder, possibly. 4th rounder, if he's still available, will be a steal! His mental errors will be fixed in year one and he will be a coverage nightmare by year two. Believe that!

Not ready!… With that being said best of luck… Go Tigers!

He's big enough to be a place kicker

cra_cra•88 months

Obviously we all want him to do well in the NFL. But he is absolutely not ready. He has difficulty getting separation, lacks consistency, isn't there physically yet, etc. He also probably cost himself millions of dollars coming out this year. Overall, just a horrible decision.

IndianInBR•88 months

The kid has loads of talent. In the right team and scheme, he could be a stud. Good luck and geaux tigers.

Someone gave this dude wrong advice

JJBTiger2012•88 months

Good luck Chi! As always, best of luck and thanks for being a Tiger!

He should check out Odell's 4 yr salary vs Jarvis'. If you have potential to go round 1 it's financially smarter to get paid more for your first contract rather than bank on getting to that second one faster

Lsuchs•88 months

Salary over his first 4 yrs*

Lsuchs•88 months

Odell makes over 3x what jarvis makes annually, had 5mil more in signing bonus, and 10x guaranteed money in his contract.

stho381•88 months

Best of luck to him. I hope he succeeds in the NFL.
