Not to sound odd here...but what did he say was his reason? Story seems to detail why he chose to tell everyone, why he chose the timing, and what he did with his family and other players to make the decision, but the article title says he "details reasons". Likely should have said "details reasons for announcing he is turning pro"

Shouldn't the article state that? Title says he details the reasons for "turning pro"...then doesn't state why he did, just states why he chose to tell everyone.

Yes, but what I got out of it was he just feels like it's the right time for HIM. That's why he said he couldn't give advice to his teammates. They have to do what's right for them. I don't like when guys leave early because anything can happen and what you thought was guaranteed, isn't, while a degree can be used more than sports. Perhaps he will tell us later if the real reason was money related or whatever.

Pretty obvious he believes his paycheck will be big enough to make him happy, at least in his mind. I tend to agree. I see him as a 1st round pick who will be able to have an imediate impact for somebody. Think about it. With his work ethic, intelligence and proven skills, he should easily eclipse some other DE's. Granted some have the skills and the potential, but the other 2 attributes were missing. Shaq may not run as fast, but he sure delivers, and he doesn't take games, practices, or even plays off. He is a baller, and he will deliver.

No explanation needed here. You can always go to college.

You only have a short shelf life for football. Go make the most of it!

Dexter Lawrence, and he was clearly afraid of losing his starting spot.
Remember, 5 stars > pretty much everything else.

1) Hope you are kidding 2) DL is a DT, not a DE. Not that Clemson wouldn't move him to DE, but likely not, and there's nothing that says they plan to.

Kearse is the only other one that is pro ready out of that group.

Mack is good but not as good as last year. He's been dropping coverage and getting burnt more than last year. I'd say he needs at least 1 more year. Leggett has had a good season. Good not great. I'd say he isn't ready for the work ethic of the NFL. Gallman seems to get better as he goes. I don't think he's reached his full potential yet. That's how good I think he is even now. Also he is a RB and they don't seem to value those as much these days in the NFL& he is still a bit skinny for the NFL.
