Todd McShay Debates Derek Stingley Jr's NFL Draft Stock, Predicts Which Team Selects Him

by Staff Reporter

February 17, 202261 Comments

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

ESPN NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay updated his mock draft 2.0 this week and has LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. going No. 10 overall to the New York Jets.

Here's what McShay had to say about Stingley's draft stock. Per On3Sports:

quote:
“Then the New York Jets, back on the board again. No. 10 — Derek Stingley,” revealed McShay. “If you go back to 2019 and study his tape, he might have the highest grade of any player in this draft. That’s how good he was. He’s a shutdown cover corner. Six interceptions as a freshman that year. But the last two years things fell apart at LSU. He had some injuries, only played in ten games.

“So there’s a lot of debate in war rooms throughout the NFL right now, where does Stingley belong? But I think if he turns it back on, he could be the best cornerback in this draft when it’s all said and done.”

Have to admit Im indifferent on the kid. Kind of like how he was indifferent as an LSU Tiger. I'm no NFL GM but i would pass on him.

saint tiger225•51 months

That's why you would never make it as an NFL gm and most of us on this board would never make it. We see everything through being LSU fans and wanting what we think is best for LSU. Many times it's not even what's best for LSU, but what we perceive at that time, and when you look back at it, what us fans wanted usually was completely wrong. Just like you saying you would pass on Stingley because you hold it against him that he was hurt and wanted to get right for the NFL draft and do what's best for him. Just as his head coach was doing the same, as O was only looking out for himself.

The Ben Simmons of football.

LSUcajun77•51 months

That’s what you get for opting out. Might have been one of the better cornerbacks to come through LSU, but unfortunately he’ll be known as a one hit wonder.

intellligent•51 months

At least he hit...

theBru•51 months

His tackling was suspect. Ball skills out the roof! If he doesn't want to tackle, he should move to WR...

Willie Stroker•51 months

Will he be more of a bust than Chase was? I think Stingley played more.

Hes better than eli apple thats all i know

Derek’s dad is going to have a thing or two to say to McShay.

Magazine St•51 months

I believe his dad is the reason he sat out so many games. Their goal has been the NFL from day one. I wish he was on the field more, but “high ankle sprains” are hard to play through.

stang14•51 months

I would not draft him. No character and a quitter. Didn’t see this crap in the 60’s and 70’s. Pardon me for being an old fart.

Stop being a gay

You are a Retard. I’m sure you said the same thing about chase.

Played hard during the 2019 season, when they were winning. When things weren't so good in 2020 and 2021, he looked disinterested and detached. If you're on the field, you should give a 100%... he quit.

CDawson•51 months

Yep, half the team quit in 2021 when the going got tough.

eugene1928LSU•51 months

He did play well in 2019, although I cant forget him getting toasted for 80 yards late in the 4th qtr by that gump receiver. Highlight for me was that game changing pick against Florsux in a very tight game at the time. Best of Luck, just wish LSU could have seen more of him on the field the last 2 years.

jeff70121•51 months

No doubt about his talent. But will he play hard and give maximum effort 100% of the time? That's the caveat!

sabbertooth•51 months

Could be the next Patrick Peterson or the next Zion. Tough decision for any team.

HTF4U•51 months

he a quitter. if jets draft him and they suck as they probably will DSJ will sell 'em out just like he did LSU

Robber DeNiro•51 months

Stfu y'all said Chase was a Quitter lol

Tigerpride18•51 months

He had surgery bruh, how is that quitting. He’s not Eli ricks, stingley was injured

Nix to Twillie•51 months

People just love to say that. Makes them feel morally superior--it's an insecurity thing.

northgate5•51 months

Stingley to the Jets would be appropriate. Match made in hell.

GeauxLSUGeaux•51 months

Just wait until his dad threatens to pull him from the team on the local sports radio when there’s a contract dispute or a trade deal fell through.

TigerLord2020•51 months

So either the best CB in the draft or a possible injury prone bust. Way to go out on a limb.

Bandits58•51 months

He’s a quitter and his dad is an idiot!! He will be a bust!!

Dcurry80•51 months

I love all the people that defend quitting. Look it’s the nature of college football right now so stop defending it. He quit on his team. The NFL is looking for players who show up everyday, play hurt and give 100%. It’s a job not a choice. Somebody will take a chance because it’s a high reward risk.

saint tiger225•51 months

People like you always say that the NFL won't take someone who, as you put it, "quit on his team". Yet, time and time again, people like you are proven wrong. You think the NFL gives a shite that he wanted to get out of the dumpster fire that was LSU under O these last couple years and get himself healthy for the NFL? I swear LSU fans are the biggest bunch of idiots in all of football. Our fans continue to hate on their own more than any other fan base could dream of. And all because some players wanted out of a clearly shitty situation and a few of them wanted out to get right before the NFL draft. Now, I'm not a huge fan of his dad's, but that's just the reality of players in any big time sport who are at the top of their sport going in to the pros. The difference with Stingley's dad, is he wasn't afraid to speak his part on radio, and for that, I respect him. And I respect him for putting his son's priorities over a coach that clearly had his own priorities, which obviously didn't include his team being the best they could be and being able to win. After LSU won in 2019, O was done. Got a divorce from his wife and things changed. He was more worried about chasing arse than doing right by and for the team he was coaching. Yet idiots like you think the NFL should and will hold that against players like Stingley. We have the biggest bunch of idiots in a collection on one site, that's pretty impressive and not something you see very often.

Tigerpride18•51 months

These comments are crazy. He is not Eli ricks, he played when he could play, he had surgery for an injury that he couldn’t play through. High ankle sprains are like hammies they take time to heal.
Stingley was a good tackler as well. Remember when people questioned him and the next game he blew that kid up to force a scoop n score? He did stuff like that a few times

alschroed•51 months

He has been hurt for 2 years.

PeleofAnalytics•51 months

Not sure that is something you put in the plus column

armytiger33•51 months

No way he falls in the draft. But the higher he goes the crappier the team he goes to… will he be uninterested on a crappy nfl team like he was on a crappy Lsu team?

LesnarF5•51 months

If Derek can only stay away from 1st down chain markers he'll be very good!

toratiger•51 months

Who?
