Maybe, but he still can't crack the starting rotation at UK
After a tumultuous college career, former Alabama tight end Jahleel Billingsley will officially be entering the 2023 NFL draft. The news was first reported by On3’s Matt Zenitz.

Javion to Miami makes me think it was less about pressure and more about money
Paraphrasing from something I saw on another board...said Cohen considers himself a tackle and left to pursue that at another school. It'll be interesting to see how that goes for him.
If you were to draw up a list of how not to manage All-America level talent, Billingsley would check every box -- the proverbial $10 million ability attached to a 10 cent brain.
He'll probably get a look as a UDFA because he does have all sorts of physical talent and because it costs the team almost nothing to take the chance. But no way any NFL team gambles a draft pick on him.
Thought more than once this past season his head wasn’t in the game all the time. If somewhere else will make him happy, so be it.
Will be interesting to see how that transition pans out considering they have two freshman 5 star tackles that won’t sit for long if they don’t start.
If he looks good at the combine, and he probably will, I'd bet some team will take a chance and draft him. The NFL draft has repeatedly shown owners and GMs who draft on potential instead of what a guy did in college. He'll get drafted and feel justified that all of those coaches who tried to change him were wrong.
I'm fine with that. I don't wish bad things for him. But I won't be pulling for him, either.
Happy for the kid. Corndogs his first love anyway. Gonna be difficult to defend him the next couple of years that's for sure.
Yeah, I would say I am in the same boat. I always hope people who have struggles will learn from their struggles, but it doesn't always happen. The dude has talent. I hope he realizes that many people were trying to help him utilize his talent, but he may be more of an "I'm doing it my way" kind of guy. If he'll get his head out of his rear and learn to take some coaching, he can make a lot of money for himself and his family.
On Jahleel Billingsly;
There's no questioning his talent. I'd be more interested in his interview process, reaction and results. I truly hope he's matured enough to take advantage of his obvious skills. I'd expect he'd at least get an UDFA practice squad opportunity and hopefully develop the attitude to go with his talent.

Not sure that's gonna work. Happiness is generated from the inside-out, not outside-in. Location is a factor but not a reason.
