I listened to that interview and I didn’t get that impression at all.

Yeah, he was supportive of Marshall’s decision. But he was quick to point out that this season should have been over by now, and that the NFL draft isn’t waiting on CFB’s extended schedule.

He’s also always very quick to point out his son’s need to get more experience and polish his game. I think Stingley Sr. probably knows the value of game experience, and the danger of sitting out for a full year. But maybe that’s just my purple & gold colored glasses.

Another thing I found interesting - Stingley Sr. said Marshall’s biggest concern about the combine is the 40-yard dash. When they asked him about Jr’s 40 time, he said “he ran a laser-timed 4.3 flat at the Open.”

Stingley will not sit out next season. If he did, its a massive mistake. Next year will be a typical season. Many other corners can rise above him on a draft board. If he comes and plays to potential, he wins the thorpe easily and is a top 10 pick.

One thing I did pick up in a previous interview was that his dad was non committal on if he would play. What he eluded to was that Derek would likely play because he had to, but they had not looked that far ahead.

Sting's tape, to me, isn't befitting a sure fire lock down corner and top 10 pick right now. He was beaten in some games and other than last week has not had a good showing in 2020 (injuries aside)

Players won't be declaring for the draft a year in advance in the future. Too many hungry players playing. Take Chase for instance. He was a no doubt top WR on everyone's boards prior to this year. Before the injury, many had Waddle, and now even Smith ahead of or on the same level as Chase. Potential loss of millions if he slide even 5-6 spots

The two that will regret sitting out will be Shelvin and Vincent imo
