Kicked off Auburns team. Allegedly was a head case, late to team meetings, not going to class, and teammates complaining about him to coaches.

Enlighten us

I also read where he barraged former players and team journalists crying “double standard” or some shite when they suspended him. Seems like a rational thing to do if you want to continue playing football.

Screw this dude he talked hella shite about LSU

Are we not to believe he was kicked off Auburn's team?

I cant give out to many specifics, but lets just say the coaching staff treated him differently. For example an Auburn player was arrested for running from the cops the week before Zay was suspended for the Georgia game. Did that player get suspended? NOPE.

Zay is not a head case, he is currently taken care of his 2 younger brothers and has been since he graduated high school. Is Zay perfect, no, I am not saying that. I am saying there are alot of factors to this. One being him and a teammate arguing over a girl. Zay has voiced his opinion about the current QB and I believe the head coach got really pissed about that.

Quite ironic that duo was awarded conference offensive player and national head coach of the week after knocking off UGA Saturday without him

So this makes it okay to be a bad teammate?

I’m not discrediting your post RoyBoy, but my thoughts after reading this is that young kids have no personal accountability these days. All SEC players aren’t kicked off of their team because they are treated unfairly.

With that said, I wish Atkins all the best and hope he has a successful future.
