50-50 he'll go pro and I think he will. This stuff about his finances and family are out of place and really have nothing to do about his decision. Most of the key points have been raised, but the one to stress the most is his talent to see the field and ability to make quick cuts. Quickness in the NFL is far more important than speed. How often do you see long runs game in and game out ??? Also he has excellent hands, a talent that was rarely utilized at LSU. I think he will enter the draft. I agree that he'll be a 5th-6th rounder.

They didnt really stack the box this year.

We were played pretty straight up. Our running game nor our passing game scared anyone.


People keep saying "they stacked the box" werent paying much attention.


I dont think Ridley breaks enough long runs to average more than 5.0 YPC or so. Anything under 5 is fairly average for college football.


Most defenses were singularly focused on stopping the run against us.

If he enters and has a good combine he goes 3rd to 4th round at the latest imo. NFL teams are coveting big backs. At 6 foot and 230 lbs, with his quickness, lateral movement and power he has all the measurables. Top end speed is very over-rated and Ridleys speed is very under-rated. No way he can be considered slow. His quickness to hit the hole is plenty fast.
