Tyler Shelvin Makes His Decision Official: He's Opting Out To Prepare For The NFL Draft

It's really hard watching someone make a horrible decision that will cost them a lot of money and potentially ruin their life. I hope Tyler finds the discipline to prove me wrong.

He will be 500# by draft

I wonder if being in a top 5 amateur football program in the world might be good NFL preparation?

If he somehow comes in at 335 at the combine he'll be a 1st rounder. But likely he comes in at 380 and is a 4th rounder.

OK, he made (IMO) a very poor business decision. TO DO: Hire a trainer and get on a strict meal plan. Better kill it in the combines or you will be an undrafted free agent.

Anthony Johnson 2.0. All of the talent in the world, never did anything with it. Won't make it in the NFL, not enough "want to"

335-340 at the combine and he is a legit first round player. You folk have no idea how good he is.

Good luck, Ty.

Well good thing he likes fast food because that is more than likely where he will be working in a couple years. More than likely UDFA then gets cut off practice squad for being out of shape and will have to get a real job without a college degree. Good luck .

Thanks for 2019

Well, I saw a recent pic and he passed the eye ball test big time. If ha keeps training, prepares for the combine, and puts up good numbers, he's 1st rounder all day. BUT, with no 2020 tape, his combine (and personal workouts) performance is key.......when you have outstanding tape, they tend to relax the measurables a tad.

could have improved his draft stock and made a lot more money

Hope he gets slim fast in his stocking for Christmas

This board has some of the most selfish self centric clowns. Good luck to you tyler on your future and thanks for your contributions to the team.

Big T :-(

Seriously needs to watch his weight, this will be critical for him to make the next move successful. Good luck Big Man and the best to you in the future.

Good luck.

All the best Tyler, and thanks for all the hard work in making the Tigers successful.

I wish him the best, but I think another season would have helped a lot more than opting out. This will hurt more than it helps later down the road. Same thing for Vincent. Chase was the best player in the country at his position last year and will be a top 5 pick and the first WR off the board in next years draft. The same can not be said about Vincent and Shelvin. Again, I wish them the best, but opting out, I think, was a mistake.

All y’all saying he’s a sure fire first rounder are crazy. He’s got the talent but he hasnt done nearly enough to warrant that.. He NEEDS a good combine and maybe gets into the early rounds. I see him as a 4th or 5th rounder that if he can stay healthy will end up being a steal and a really solid player in the league but it’s very hard watching him make this decision when I know if he came back his stock would skyrocket. Wish you all the luck in the world Big T, you were a monster and helped bring home a natty and we are very thankful for that.
