re: Is it a given that J. Roy goes pro after this year?

Oh yeah. He’s gone

He may, but I think our fan base needs to be prepared that we have a coach staff now that will educate these kids on how to maximize their pro career. Under O the thought was go pro because you never know what will happen your senior year. It seemed like the coaches did not help the kids understand how to maximize their draft stock or understand if they were mature enough to handle the everyday aspects of being a professional.

We have had so many kids leave after their junior year to be draft in the 6th or 7th round, go to the practice squad and end up never making a 53 man roster. The best way to get better is by playing more snaps, that doesn’t happen if you are on a practice squad.
