Malachi Dupre: Cautionary Tale

Dude is screwed. One more year would have did wonders specially with Canada

Sure looks like he bit off more than he could chew.

I thought staying would have served him better but wasn't my call.

Wasn't real smitten with his seeming pout when BH was benched.

Hope his agent didn't float him too much cash.

Mayock even said he's just not impressed with anything about Dupre

Neither top Louisiana receiver got drafted... Dupre or Noil.

Although late round contracts have no guarantees, the difference between late second round money and late 7th round money is only ~$1.6M, so it's not devastating financially.

Malachi Dupre: Caution Tale

---

This is a dumb arse post.

Chi needs to make a roster. If he does, he will make more as a 21 year old rookie than you would make in a decade.

If he doesn't, an extra year in BR would not have made the difference in his ability to make a roster or not.

He chose to play for his home state school despite offers from pretty much anywhere else in the country, stayed out of trouble, wasn't a distraction on or off the field, and our embarrassment of a fanbase is falling all over themselves to come here and bash how stupid he was and how soft and underachieving blah blah blah.


You nerds aren't even a blip on the radar to this kid that now finds himself with the opportunity to work hard and catch passes from one of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game and earn a career where he could make more money than any of you could dream of.


Cautionary tale my arse. Dork.

If the production isn't there you DO NOT LEAVE. Dupre tried to rely on his combine numbers and ultimately failed. Stay in school.

Same Etling, Chark next year along with Drake Davis.

Dural came back because he had to, got passed up, and went undrafted.

Godchaux had good numbers and size for a DT and still got drafted low.

Beckwith got injured coming back his senior year.

Same college type coaches that still can't fix his problems at WR.

You guys never look at the big picture. Most of you only think about what these guys can do for LSU.

I'm glad that he will now get pro level coaching and he goes to a top notch place for it and a great QB throwing to him. He has the talent, just wasn't developed properly. Ball developed one NFL level WR at UGA, Craig developed nobody at Auburn, and Joseph has very few details to point you in any direction as a WR coach at this level. Wish he had Adam Henry for more than 1 year.

Well, Malachi is famous now. His story is going to be used for years to warn juniors about the perils of leaving too early before you are ready. His story will end up being good for LSU but not so good for Malachi. Hopefully, he can recover and have a fruitful career.
