He had a pretty key play in the national championship game, so not really true.

He was a QB in high school and did not redshirt. He is still learning the position. If we had a more potent passing attack this year he likely would have had more receptions to help forget about the handful of drops he had.

Wow pretty negative I actually think he did very well for us. Really came on and played very well as a freshman taking over for mike when he got hurt. Then mike comes back with all the talent we had at wr he did a great job and his numbers would have been better without having to share load with Mike, Legget scott and renfrow. This year his numbers weren't what we expected but also look at the passing game compared to when DW or Boyd were here. Yea I thought times this year he didn't fight for the ball as much as I wanted but he def wasn't a underachiever for Clemson imo!!! Good luck to you Cain carry on the WRU mojo haha. Higgins it's your time to shine my friend next man up Go Tigers!!

To me the 4th best WR in the draft
Jan 10, 2018, 11:40 AM

Is on what he could be not what he is right now. He has an issue with drops and I felt like he should try to go up and snag the ball rather than waiting for it to come to him. Good luck to him. I wish him nothing but the best and thanks for the memories.

All the luck but he may end up like Derrick Hamilton.
Deon really needed another year. He dropped to many passes and really didn't high point the ball like Nuk,Sammy and Mike could. I think another year with a better passing attacked would have helped his NFL draft position.
I only wish he'd have kept his nose clean and been in the 2015 Bama' game....we could have used him .

was more productive than Ray Ray and didn't go in the 1st round. I'd even say he was a better blocker, protected the ball, and of course, a hell of a pick man!!!

Wish he was staying one more year to get his degree, just to prove all the doubters wrong. Good luck in the NFL. Will never forget his TD reception vs FSU in 2015, and the key reception vs Bama in the championship game.

Why do some people think a good player ‘automatically’ become a first rounder with ‘another’ year of college? Sometimes you are where you are and there’s no moving up. I think Deon will be an outside receiver with speed...he beat Feaster in that practice Sprint last year.

I think this is about the same reaction we had when Martavis Bryant left early, and look what he has done with Pittsburgh when he wasn't smoking the kind!!!

Bryant's numbers were better when he was smoking! Haha! He would have done much better this year had JuJu not come along. Bryant is a good WR.

I think this is a good move by Cain as he's more likely to
Jan 10, 2018, 1:04 PM
|

be utilized correctly in the NFL. He's not a big physical guy or a really polished route runner, but he can absolutely be an elite deep threat at the next level. I really think he can do something similar to what Will Fuller did with the Texans and DW4 when he came back healthy this year.
With KB2 most likely starting again next year (at least for the first part of the season) and the lack of a real connection between the two, I don't see Cain having a huge year next year even he were to come back. He needs a QB that can hit him in stride 40 yards down the field and he just isn't going to get that at Clemson right now. Sure it could be different with Lawrence or Johnson starting, but that's counting your chickens before they hatch or however that saying goes.

What gets to me more than them leaving early, is that what they want most in their lives is to play NFL FB but, they don't pay one bit of attention to what NFL coaches and the team owners are telling them to do for their best chances for an NFL career. The coaches and owners tell them every year that they would rather they use their senior year to obtain more of what it will take for them to succeeded in the NFL, and that is that last year of experience that they get in their senior year. And these juniors will put their fingers in their ears so not to hear that part being said. Who knows better than the ones that will be coaching them, and the owners that will be paying them. I wouldn't need to hear that message but once, and I would be back in school for my senior year bc the NFL is the hardest job of all jobs to obtain, and these guy will completely IGNORE that golden piece of information, and put their life long dream at risk. Hopefully for all or most that take that piece of info to heart, will make it in the NFL bc, I believe that is the best piece of info they could get from coaches and the owners of these teams!!!

Spot on. Don’t think anyone could say it better. The few that are told they’re ready after junior year like dw4 are a very few each year.
What gets me is now they can get insurance just in case something happens. That and very few have career ending injuries.

Look what Georgia did keeping its superstars around another season. But I admit Cain doesn't surprise me. Another receiver who is leaving does as I just don't see him as ready but we will find out and I'm pulling for them to do well! Go Tigers!

Expect he'd like a few drops back, wouldn't we all in life? But I like Cain's chances at the next level. Best wishes and work hard young man!
