Honey Badger

betting suplemental draft next year.

He could go the Jenkins route and go 1AA then declare for the draft. It worked out okay for him so far, he got picked early 2nd round.

I don't think there's any doubt about talent, IMO.  He's got it, but yes, his size may put him at too much of a deficit to overcome, but regardless, the kid has some crazy talent.

Sometimes it takes people a while to figure out that your life is so much easier if you just play by the rules.  No one really cares if you agree with the rules, just play by them for crying out loud.  Maybe this will be the wakeup call.

I'd probably over look the drug charge if I were an nfl coach.

Fortunate for Tyrann, there are no legal charges.  Just failed tests.
Miles was reported saying the same thing as a wake-up call.
As someone else pointed out, sounds like Perilloux all over again.  *sigh*

As far as his NFL prospects, forget about the Wonderlic, the young man just failed the most important intelligence test he'll ever take. If it's drug related, I can't see an NFL coach "overlooking" it as someone said, they make you sit for failing drug tests in the NFL as well.

Again, that is the same thing Jenkins got busted for I believe 3 times. If he can go to a 1AA team and clean his act up he still ahs a chance.

Whatever avenue he takes, he'll end up in the bigs. That said, without someone that sees what has not been seen before, he won't go first two rounds because, simply: 1) he's too small to play corner (I think), 2) he fits much better as a kick returner, and they don't draft high.

Now....could he end up being Wes Welker?  That's his only out to get picked earlier.  To get there, he needs to go 1AA, play corner AND the Wes Welker role, and come out blazing. He's got the skill. Just a question of whether he will. 

I agree.  This is not like gymnastics or diving where you have 6 judges and they average the scores, or they throw out the highest and lowest scores.  There are 32 teams.  You don't need to convince all 32 teams that you're worth a gamble, you just need to convince one of them.  Buffalo gambled on Willis McGahee in the first round after destroying his knee 4 months before the draft...he didn't even play his first year as he was still recovering.  And then we have Denver taking Tim Tebow in the first round. 

It can't be drunk driving or fighting or breaking gun laws or sex abuse or gambling or smacking woemn around, all those things are OK as long as you can play ball and sell seats.

I'm sure off field trouble won't hamper him.  It didn't keep Art Schlichter, Maurice Clarett, or Lawrence Philips from having long, successful NFL careers.......

     He's enrolled at McNeese St. University which is a 1AA (perinneal playoff team) in the Southland Conference.  It's located in Lake Charles, LA.  Which is roughly two hours west of Baton Rouge.

     If anyone remembers Cecil Collins he did the same thing though poor Cecil couldn't hang on there either.

pwa-ha-ha...

Think I'm going to have to make my way to the McNeese/Weber game here in Utah!!
Hope the kid gets his act together

?

What I read said anyone dismissed fromt he team for drugs was out for a year, then with special approval from certainadmins, he possibly could play again...  but I can see that story has since changed when it was reported earlier.
