I'd have to say 3rd round at this point.

I think Key isn't playing well b/c of his added weight. He's a speed guy, another 20lbs will certainly slow hom down.

Hopefully he goes undrafted to teach his arse he's an idiot. He needs to be benched for being an individual player instead of team player. I have no doubt he was planning to take this season off but then realized it would look bad on his character so then he came back...out of shape and now it's killing his stock. He looks lazy, slow and uninterested in the game. He was 1 year early on this. Should've waited until the draft to sit on his money. Now he's not even looking like 3rd round pick at this point. He has been AWFUL this season.

Character like does he beat women or sell drugs. Some teams may question his work ethic but overall his talent will get him drafted high. You guys are looking at it like butt hurt college fans.


Work ethic and many other things define character. But work ethic is what makes a great athlete a great player

It's hard to believe he's that stupid that he lets his laziness cost him so much.

Not a second round right now maybe by end of season if he keeps his nose clean and picks up some speed

He should stay for his senior season to guarantee a higher rank.

No way I see him as first rounder.

He should not even be a starter right now. He is only half speed and not showing much effort.

Maybe even lower with his character problems he'll be in the Randy Gregory category come draft time. At least that guy was productive his last year in college. Key is already a bust.

Yesterday he busted his arse. Not last year level but he is getting closer.

The only time his name was called was on a personal foul. He wasn't a factor yesterday.

Funny. I started typing this earlier but got busy. That's his best comp to me. I slightly more talented player with possibly slightly less baggage (remains to be seen).

For anyone who doesn't follow the NFL, Gregory was potentially a top ten pick who slipped to the end of the second round due to character concerns. He's currently suspended for a year for multiple failed drug tests.

Naw. I noticed him plenty. The personal foul was really bad though. But it was by far his best game from an effort standpoint.

I mean, at least he was 20 yards down field to be able to commit that dumb penalty, right? The Key from the Mississippi State game would have been standing at the line of scrimmage.

I'm not giving up on him yet.

Key will be a Top 10 pick. Guys with his skill set and measurables don't just grow on trees. He's coming off shoulder surgery, knocking the rust off, played better yesterday despite being double teamed a fair amount and looked like he is getting his speed back because I saw him chasing Gators down the field. I think he will only get better as the season goes forward. Hell Clowney sat on his arse his junior year, sucked arse, and was the #1 pick. Anyone thinking Key falls to the 2nd round or lower is nuts.

Eh. Clowney mailed it in a few years ago and was the first pick of the draft.


Clowney was also in shape and ran a sub 4.5. Key is just fat and slow.

When all of the major scouts are at the Alabama/LSU game this year, it is then that he will shine. He's still the man but damn, you wouldn't know it if this was your first year watching football. He looks like he's on a Zanax or something. Really strange.
