Injuries or whatever., If he stays or gets healthy, he will be a star.

He did for a year then had injuries this past year.

He's going to be a stud in the NFL if he stays healthy.

I'm sure you are wanting this to be a shite all over Key thread, because its what the rant loves to do.

But...if he's a top 10-15 pick in the draft, then I'd say he did.

He was good his freshmen year and insanely good his sophomore year.

If you reordered his stats no one would complain about his career.

I wish Him luck.

I would say yes, his JR year was only impacted by injuries which sucks as an LSU fan.

Freshman All American, set single season sack record (12) despite missing two games as a sophomore. I’d say he met expectations despite this year’s shenanigans

Well his leave of absence was his own fault. Timing of that shoulder surgery also irked some...

He did work to eventually get himself back in shape to his credit.

After the Randy Gregory debacle, I could see some teams being hesitant....still his talents are a rarity in the NFL

Yeah, he has a lot of explaining to do on this.

Great comparison. Whatever happened with him?

Gregory had a drug problem though. Hard to compare the 2.

Gregory was also 235 at combine. Key needs to be around 245-250. I think his stock will rise after that

When he was health/personal issues, he reached a high level.

I do not think he will do well in the NFL, however. Time will tell.

Inasmuch as he did not play for most of 2017, the answer is an unequivocal no.

Yes, without question. I don't know what went down in the spring but he worked himself back into shape by mid season and had some good games this year, plus a great freshman and soph. year. He was the best pass rusher we've had in decades
