The NFL is really sending mixed signals. Hell two weeks ago a player was caught on tape mugging someone and ended up getting an invitation to the Super Bowl.

I probably shouldn't say it and I know it's paranoid, but the guy in striped shirt just could, could, be looking at the biggest payday in his life.

There's a video from the corner showing him run up to the official behind the Saints WR, but the official motions for him to stop. You can imagine how the LSU... I mean Saints fans reacted to that.I probably shouldn't say it and I know it's paranoid, but the guy in striped shirt just could, could, be looking at the biggest payday in his life.

I'm sure the NFL brass are aware of how the augments the public perception that athletic contests are rigged to benefit BIG money gambling. I believe that they will tweak the rules, reviews, whatever, to make sure something this flagrant doesn't happen again...There's a video from the corner showing him run up to the official behind the Saints WR, but the official motions for him to stop.

I remember Alabama listed Jake Coker at the same height and weight as Ben Roethlisberger, and I said there is no way.I will never understand why teams "lie" about height and weight of players. It is not like there is some weird rule that states they have to be a certain height and weight. Does it really matter?
Alabama RB Josh Jacobs
It's unlikely a running back will be drafted in the top five picks this year, but Alabama's Josh Jacobs is worth it. Jacobs, who sits at No. 5 overall on my board, has a mixture of power and speed that should excite NFL general managers. He's a more powerful version of Alvin Kamara with limited wear and tear, only carrying the ball 120 times as a junior and 251 times total in college in the deep Alabama backfield.
5. Stock Down
Alabama's Deionte Thompson shot out of a cannon this season as a first-year starter who looked like the NFL's answer to the free safety position, but Thompson has since fallen down the board consistently. He struggled against Clemson in the national title game, showing a timid nature and slow instincts that weren't there early in the year. Whether he was dealing with an undisclosed injury or just struggling, Thompson didn't look right. There are also legitimate concerns about his body type and weight. He's very skinny throughout his body and was playing at an estimated 170 pounds this season. That won't cut it in the NFL.
If I heard correctly on the radio today the AAF pro league that Birmingham is playing in will have a review process in the last 5 minutes of each half that includes reviews for everything including non-calls like this one. This is something the NFL will watch closely and may incorporate.I'm sure the NFL brass are aware of how the augments the public perception that athletic contests are rigged to benefit BIG money gambling.

Doesn't look like someone who should've foregone his senior season, does it?
The "Ledyard" analysis was a lot of what I saw this year so I would agree with you. The "Crabbs" analysis is better and is what some teams see with Mack's potential. I think he is a day 2 guy going in 2nd or 3rd round.Doesn't look like someone who should've foregone his senior season, does it?

Nope. But I also don't think another year here would have helped him get better either.Doesn't look like someone who should've foregone his senior season, does it?

Yikes. He will drop out of the first round now for sure.
I feel for the guy. He is an absolute beast and this is going to cost him a lot of $. Hopefully he gets healthy and can make his money on his 2nd contract.
Idk, they might still draft a QB. But it definitely helps them have flexibility.Bronco's just traded for Joe Flacco. This may effect the draft in some way.
I think the projection on SS will be even harsher....no idea what led to his decision to declare early. Would have made more money developing another year. Maybe a lesson for younger players to learn from.Nope. But I also don't think another year here would have helped him get better either.
He can Tweet like nobody's business though.....real good talker.
