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.

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

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.

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

Thanks for 2019

He will be 500# by draft

I'm sorry, but I can't help but feel like this decision is largely in part because he does not want to put in the work it is going to take to get back on the field at LSU... He knows CEO is going to want him near 330 to play... TS knows how hard he had to work to get down there the first time and prob figures by the time he gets close enough, the season will be all but over. I hope I am wrong, but something tells me this guy is going to go into the combine at 375.

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.

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.

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.

Hope he gets slim fast in his stocking for Christmas

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.

Good luck, Ty.

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"

He'll blow up bigger than Gravy Chambers.

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

Good luck.

Big T :-(

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

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.
