re: Russell Shepard getting some NFL pub

quote:

---

He said after his commitment that he was open to playing wherever the coaches needed him, so he had an idea that a position move was a strong possibility.

---

One of the big reasons he choose LSU was because they told him he would get a shot to play QB. Politically correct interviews after his recruitment dont change that. Every guy is going to use that line

quote:

---

No one said he was specifically told "you will be the next Percy Harvin"

---

Well you kind of implied it.

quote:

gger role than what he was given. It's easy to sit back and say that he sucked but our offense and QB play didn't help.

---

Roles are earned not given.

And im not saying he sucked and im not saying the QBs were good, but not putting any blame on him as a player is ridiculous too. He dropped some easy passes during his career and didnt get open that often when he got his opportunities


With that said if theres one thing we can all agree on its that Shep was a great leader on the team and i will respect him forever for that and wish him the best in his NFL career.
