[QUOTE="GaTech4ever, post: 995111, member: 660"] He’s had too many injuries to risk another season of college football. Especially when his last season of college football would have him as the #3 WR at best. Think about this from a quality of life perspective as well as a personal career goal perspective. If I’m him, and I know my injury history, I’d rather risk a career-ending injury happening as an UDFA in minicamp tryouts than in practice as a GT WR. At least in this case, he can say he took his career as far as he could. Everyone, including him, knows he’s not gonna put up some crazy stats next year and get drafted. He’s gonna be an UDFA regardless. Why not do it now when you’re healthy and a year younger and have already been in college for 5 years. A 6th year in college as the #3 or #4 GT WR probably won’t do much for his pro prospects and could actually cause him to not get a shot at all if he gets hurt again. This decision makes so much sense to me. He’s not going to get better at GT next year, his skills are maximized in college. And we have too many weapons for anyone to expect him to put up stats next year. He’s a former 5* who had 5 TDs and was uga’s punt returner as a true freshman. He needs to show he’s healthy and he’ll get an UDFA minicamp invite. [/QUOTE]
