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

He has a Lisfranc injury of his foot. He will never be the player he was in his freshman year. He better get whatever payday he can from whatever team is foolish enough to draft him and give him upfront money.

He did nothing the last two seasons at LSU. A third to fourth round pick would be good for him. He is a risky pick.

If he shows to be a lockdown corner all of you will be on here posting “DBU”. He is from LSU, and I will pull for his success. Of course I would have liked to see him handle it differently, but he is not on an island at this point.

Most of the comments here are from a bunch of idiot mouth breathers who can't seem to think for themselves. They just parrot the talking points they see on this site, which to anyone rational, makes them seem like an idiot. Yet, they get a couple of likes on here and think they're geniuses. As a fan base, we lack self awareness. It's clear anyone except LSU fans on this board, could see that LSU was a dumpster fire these last couple of years. Without Burrow and Aranda holding things together, it probably would have started long before. It's like all the players going in to the portal the last few years showed y'all nothing. When most people saw that and realized there were some deep issues within LSU, the idiots here just kept blaming the players. In reality, the blame lies on coach O and for everyone to be shitting on a player like Stingley who was hurt and probably tired of playing for a coach who had his own priorities. Anyone who's mad at Stingley is an idiot and really needs to look inward towards themselves because their hate is coming from something greater than just hating on a player for doing what's best for him in a shitty situation. It's like this cartoon pic of the building burning with the dog just sitting there and saying "this is fine" ( Image Link). It's like all of you would just sit there and burn in the fire because to y'all, that would seemingly be like a captain going down with his ship, when in reality, it's just your dumbass sitting there getting burned while firefighters were trying to get you out. The same thing was going on with LSU, except in many cases, a lot of them were smart enough to get out. And sure, it's admirable for the ones who stuck around and saw things through, but unlike Stingley, many of them didn't have an injury that could linger around and affect their draft stock. Also, unlike Stingley, none of them are/were projected to be 1st round picks. So, while y'all continue to shite on Stingley, just try and remember that 2019 probably doesn't go the way it did without him. The number of big plays he made that year alone makes me thankful he was a Tiger and I'll forever be grateful for him coming here and playing for a coach, that anyone with half a brain, knew wouldn't be here for the long haul. And for the ones holding it against Stingley that he sat out the rest of the year to get right physically, after already going through a shitty 2020 season, as I said, y'all need to look inward because y'all's hate is coming from something deeper. Possibly, a hate for your own life and being miserable day in and day out and having to sit your fat arse in traffic every day and go home to y'all's fatass wives with their "my husband is oil field trash making that oil field cash" sticker on her 2009 Yukon. I'm sure at least that's what it is for a few of y'all. The others, probably just mad at the world because y'all have little peckers, so to make yourself feel a little better, you hate on players for a team you consider yourself a fan of, all because they're looking out for what's best for them, just as most of you idiots would drag up if ole Billy was putting your life in danger while rigging up the next pipe to to fly. But, it's ok for you to do that, but it's not ok for the players who played their asses off for LSU, while playing for a coach who was clearly in over his head from day 1 on the job, to look out for their best interests and to do so by getting healthy going in to the draft, a draft that which have a much bigger impact on not only their lives, but the potential to affect their family for generations to come........ TL;DR - We have the biggest bunch of idiot fans in all of college sports who have a mindset still set in the 60s and 70s and how college sports were back then. It's amazing any of them know how to post on a message board, when their fatass wives allow them to, of course. Thank you to Stingley for everything you did and all the other players as well. At least you'll be going in to the draft as an LSU tiger, unlike someone like Ricks. I wouldn't really blame Ricks either, except he transferred to Bama.

'If you look back at his 2019 tape'... huge issue. Somebody is going to take a shot and throw big money at him, that will prove a bad investment.

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

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.

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.

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

Who cares?

Wonder if he will try to make tackles in the pros? I think the league values that skill set

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

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

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?

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

He has been hurt for 2 years.

Hes better than eli apple thats all i know

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.

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.

Stingley would be a steal if he fell to #10.
