Seems like a poor choice for Breeland and Bryant

They both have the talent to make it in the NFL...

it's just that an extra year would have gotten Bryant into the first round.

I said after the spring game Bryant was locked on the light was on now. Bryant has about a much potential as any receiver not named Calvin Johnson, I've ever seen. He is one of those guys that will go to the combine and dazzle scouts especially with speed. When a 6-5 215+ WR runs a sub 4.4 people take notice. I'm saying 4.32-4.35ish. If he posts 38" or better vertical, looks good in catching drills, shows good lateral movement and crisp routes, he may slide into the late first anyway. He is without a doubt first round talent. He could potentially put on another 15+ pounds as well. H's started filling out his frame too. He really has a bright future ahead of him. Good luck MB!

and this was his first year in getting significant playing time. Would another year help? Yes, but he has the talent to make it in the NFL. And as long as he works hard he can be a good NFL player. Ellington got drafted in the 6th round and he had a good rookie season.

field. Each time he faced adversity from coaches, etc., he reels. The NFL is not a kind place to those not mature in attitude and approach to the game. I hope he does well, but young immature players get chewed up and spit out by the NFL players and coaches.

He won't be a #1 receiver, but his combination of hands, size and speed are a rare commodity that teams will savor the chance to develop.
I agree with you on maturity - hopefully he's learned lessons from the tough love given at Clemson and I hope he finds a good mentor in the league. If so, watch out.

Best of luck to him. Would have liked to have him another year, and another year could have gotten him first round draft status, but it's understandable that the decision was made in interest of himself and his family. Hope to see Bryant catch many passes in the NFL.

I will say that he has been a disappointment here at Clemson. His flashes of brilliance were fun to see, but it would have been great to see him have an outstanding season as the team's true #1 reciever

about what he is in store for and whether or not he thinks he is ready...I bet he has some regrets. Kevin Youngblood was better than Bryant IMO & he couldn't stick on a roster.

I agree....I hope that they bot make it but I doubt either one will be on a NFL roster three seasons from now . That higher draft pick almost forces a team to keep you on the roster . That aides in the maturation process in the NFL .

well on Sundays. What it means for us is that some of these younger guys are going to have to step up. With Tajh leaving as well that means we lose a big part of our offense.

in the cutthroat NFL. Wished you juniors would have stayed for your senior years to get better, bigger, faster, and a diploma, but if can get it done in the NFL, you should take the money. Of course, Sammy is the exception and is ready.

excited after a big win, but the next season gives you the opportunity to mature, and you will be the new senior leader (& The Man), and your draft stock will be much, much better. You will go a much lower round than you think this time.
Grass can "look" greener, but it's not finished growing to it's potential yet.

I don't know who advised this young man but they should have done their research. This doesn't benefit him what so ever. But what we don't know he may not have really a choice either. College academics are not easy.

FREAK.
He wont be on the board past the 2nd round, mark my words.
He had a consistent 2nd half of the season, big bowl game, and will wow scouts in virtually every WR drill.

I'm sure Martavis knows he would likely benefit from one more year, but if his family needs the help now, I say thanks and good luck. You weigh the pluses and minuses and do what you think is best. Blood family before football family is understandable.
I hope he will come back and get his degree.
