Or just lack of playing at LSU during pandemic and post injury.

How about lack of production and underwhelming workout results.

This is the reason. He tested poorly and cost him.

The NFL will overlook minor character issues if you’re a great athlete.

I’d say it’s all his attitude he 100% did this to himself. sad because he had all the physical tools in the world. He just couldn’t get his shite together.

I would think it is his entire body of work and questionable work ethic, attitude and off the field choices.

His combine hurt him the most. Those poor arse numbers aren't a reflection on his athleticism, it's a reflection on his work ethic.

Whatever the reason was that he changed his mind at the last min to go pro- clearly he got into some shite.

Kid has a ton of talent but in the NFL that doesn't mean shite if you don't have work ethic and you have baggage.

Scouts could have overlooked his numbers because Jayden just missed a shite load of times where he was wide arse open. What they can't overlook is the off the field stuff and that combine.

Really don’t see the need or purpose in trying to explain the obvious. He didn’t “fall“ he ended up where he belonged based on his performance on the field, off the field, and in testing.

Guy was a track star in high school and could barely reach a 4.5 in the 40. There are D lineman that ran faster and offensive linemen that jumped higher.

What they can't overlook is how many times the ball hit him in the hands and he dropped it.

One play told me all I need to know about him. When he took the play “off” in the FSU game and didn’t even try to catch that pass from JD in the EZ. From a fan perspective Boutte appears to care about him, only him and nothing but himself.

I love how you can talk shite about a player who had a terrible injury and the admins allow it. But calling out jd for his terrible play gets a PM. KB wasnt the same after his injury but let’s keep shitting on him.

Couple that with him choosing to NOT improve those numbers & the perception about him at the LSU Pro Day. He has had every opportunity to succeed. I wish him the best b/c when he was in it to win he was hard to stop. Best of luck to him as I want to see another LSU WR kick arse in the NFL. It's good for the brand and obviously good for him.

Facts are facts. His work ethic is not where it needs to be.
