Forbes declared for the draft....
- Thread starter L4Dawg
- Start date
Another great State to Sundays story. And I honestly don't care if he skips the bowl game.
Currently projected for the 3rd round, but could work his way up at the combine. Couldn’t fault him at all for skipping the bowl game….he’s in that zone where a good showing could be huge but an injury could be devastating for his stock.
he could work himself into the first round with another year, and quintuple the money he MIGHT get this year. 3rd round and he could very well get stuck on a practice squad
Someone is going to get a steal if he lasts till the 3rd round.
Ridiculous. He can’t do anymore than he already has.
Agree. I was shocked that he was projected that low, but it was a fairly universal consensus across most projections.
He definitely has nothing left to prove and no way that dude is on a practice squad. Day one starter. Look at what Emerson is doing. He is at least just as good
3rd round is still a solid draft position. Very rarely is a 3rd rounder simply a practice squad player.

Get real. 3rd rounders are literally never on the practice squad. And you only have a 10-12 year window at best to make money in the NFL. Once you’re ready, you gotta make the leap because you can’t get that college year back. You are what you are as a prospect after 2-3 years of playing in the SEC….another year isn’t going to help him.
The only way he'll be pushed and grow is in the next level. He's already at the highest level you can get in college in his skill set
I’ll give you 2 to 1 odds he isn’t a day 1 starter.
And that’s not based on Forbes ability either.
Don't blame him going pro but I'm not a fan of players skipping bowl games. Get The Bulldog Inititative to buy him an insurance policy covering the bowl game.
Well.. the current starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys was a 4th round pick.
THAT was the biggest NFL Draft steal since Tom Brady.
Sometimes you wonder what these folks are looking at. It definitely isn’t level of competition and accomplishment.
I think the only thing hurting him is unfortunately something he can’t control. His height and size
If he was 6’2”, I have zero doubt that he’d be a first rounder
outside of very few positions in todays NFL with the cap you are counting on 2nd and 3rd rounders to be starters at least by year 2
And even when it does happen, its after the player is on an active roster for at least a year or two, and doesn’t pan out because of either injury or lack of work ethic. Its usually never due to lack of ability.
This is the exact situation where we thank the man for his service and root for him at the next level. There is nothing more that he could prove at the college level. He could get a little more national press and maybe up his draft stock with another year, but he could also get injured and be out of football completely. I wish him the best and will be rooting for him no matter what team he plays for.
I'm excited for him and hope that, being in the 3rd round, he gets a chance to go to a team with a good front office, coaching staff and roster and not end up at a Detroit or Carolina. I agree that his size is the biggest reason he's not projected higher.
He got his degree in being a badass in the SEC, which is what he came to MSU to do. Perfect 4.0 GPA in man coverage. Nothing else really matters.
Skitty of you to demand something from an organization you might not contribute to.
