I wouldn’t invest in a guy who didn’t play in the bowl game, went to a job interview and did well in the first interview but then decided to “skip” the rest of it.
I think it shows that he is out to try to get paid (which he should be) but not really committed to the sport or team. It’s all about him. We have seen a long list of busts and washouts with this mentality.
He has not shown the fortitude of a guy I would invest tens of millions in.
Maybe he is getting bad advice from an agent. Not sure what his deal is.

You’re making a lot of assumptions about someone you’ve likely never met

Our fans are absolutely delusional. He has a child, a small child. He doesn't have money either.
Are you telling me, that if you were in his position, with your whole future on the line, would you really risk it all for a bowl game?
Would you really risk millions of dollars for a bowl game that doesn't even matter? Yes I was upset that he didn't play, but he did what was best for him and his family. It doesn't make him a bad person, he did what he thought was best.
To answer the question of grade, he would get a B.
People were lowering his grade due to questions about his speed, he proved them that he has speed. The stuff he struggled with could be tought easily in the NFL.

Some dumb sht in this thread. All because he skipped the bowl game. Some of you are hoping he fails to fulfill a personal vendetta against him. Patch your butthurt and move on.

There is no personal vendetta. Could not really care less.
99.8% of college athletes competed in their respective bowl games and finished their career. 99.9% of the combine invitees completed all opportunities to impress the scouts.
Greedy’s tweet to Devin White the day before after Devin had a successful 40 was telling. He recommended Devin not compete in the rest of the drills after his quality 40. Of course Devin is man enough not to take such advice and competed in all and did not shy away from competition.
It is likely that Greedy is getting bad advice. But if I am an NFL GM, which obviously I am not. But I would think twice about investing a lot of money in him at this point in the upper 1st round because he is not showing that he is grabbing the bull by the horns and earning his spot like others by taking every opportunity to compete and win. He is essentially expecting it to be given and playing “not to lose” instead of “ playing to win and take it.”

There are no 1 on 1 drills in the combine.

he didn't look as smooth as some of the others in the drills he participated in. Deion said the problem he sees is he stands up to quick and that's why teams were able to hit lots of slants against him. He said he needs to stay in his crouch more which is easily fixable.
Seems like a good DB could’ve fixed this in 3 seasons

There's no doubt his time turned some heads, but I question his work ethic. I thought he was a sure-fire top 10 pick, but I'm not sure anymore. He strikes me as one of those freak athletes that forgets you have to continue to work hard or the other less talented guys will outwork you and put you on the unemployment line! I hope I'm wrong, but something tells me I'm not!

Killed it on 40 which was probably his only question mark. Film speaks for itself on coverage skills. Nobody is going to not draft him because he sucked at the combine coverage drills. I would say the combine was a win for him with that blazing 40 and being 6’2.

That risk is so minor that the answer for me is yes. Same as most every other top player. Most elite players have some sense of loyalty and brotherhood to the team. I think it will affect his draft position as well and cost him some money.
but regardless, I do wish him the best in the NFL and will always be a fan of his. Just think he got some bad advice.

no doubt, legit 6'2" and running in the 4.3's in the 40 with his proven coverage skills is going to make him a great selection for some team.

Seems like you don't understand what LSU's defensive scheme asked him to do, and why that might cause him to struggle in that drill

Aside from an injury, quitting on your team before all the games are played is a character flaw. Regardless of how noble some of you think that decision was, it’s a red flag that will very likely cost him money.

Besides his great time, I have heard reports of him struggling in the cover 1 on 1 drills at the combine
I watched him in a few games, didn’t seem to struggle

If you looked at some of their teams and draft choices you would have to assume so.

What’s the bet? LSU fans thought he would go top three and certainly top five before he skipped the bowl. I’ll bet you whatever you want that he doesn’t go top ten.
