Was he injured or did he opt out? He can't possibly think he's going to play in the NFL.

Don't think his ankle was completely healed.

You'd have said the same thing about Omar Speights who was much worse at LSU than West Weeks, now he's starting for the Rams. Of course West thinks he can play in the NFL. He may not get drafted, but he'll get a shot.

He would absolutely get drafted, especially if he does well at the combine or pro day.

Probably going to NFL would be my guess

The announcer actually said he was training for the combine/pros right now. Forgot where he said he was training though.

West is a Sr and opted out.

Whit has another year and was listed as injured.

35 is a freshman.


Opting out is the "cool" thing to do.

He’s preparing for an opportunity in the NFL. His brother got seriously hurt last year in the Texas bowl so I kind of understand. Besides, it creates an opportunity for younger players to get in and play some.

Wrong Weeks brother. Whit is hurt. West is a SR getting ready for the pro- combined.

He’s probably gotten an honest assessment that his best path is as an UFA for a team that may have a need for him. You basically have no shot to be picked up as an UFA if you are injured.

Another possibility- he may be looking at trying the UFL. He can be picked up straight out of that league without bothering with the draft if he doesn’t expect to be selected. Over 50 UFL players were signed were signed by NFL teams this year, mostly for reserve rolls and practice squads, but that’s the category West Weeks falls into.

Should have been thinking about his team instead of being selfish.

It must be eating Nuss up inside that a healthy Senior Tiger, like Weeks, would opt out of one more time to play with his brothers in an LSU uniform.
