hate it but good decision for him. he is almost 25

happy for him. Hate it for us...

This was a guy who came into school who by all accounts was not D1 material.

Congratulations, thanks, and good luck to him

Seems like we're sending out top rated DE in the NFL every year. This year we send out two

agree....KD had the Alabama tackle shaking his head during the game.

Jan 13, 2016, 12:43 PM [ in reply to happy for him. Hate it for us... ]

that this is a good move for him. He's a man. It's not like he's 20 and could really use another year of college seasoning.

great coming out party in the title game kd, good luck!***

Thanks, Kevin


Jan 13, 2016, 11:19 AM

You are a great Tiger. More proof that hard work and heart will take you farther than star ratings. Doo doo ice could learn a thing or two from you.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Thanks for all your effort and hard work...


Jan 13, 2016, 11:19 AM

You laid it all on the line and played a hell of a game vs Bama. I don't blame you one bit, especially with degree in hand come May. Best of luck Mr. Dodd!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Next man up


Jan 13, 2016, 11:20 AM

I had a feeling he would go after his performance Monday night. He already had a very good season and then what he did Monday only made his case stronger.


Even more of a reason to make a push for Gary...Yes he is a DT but he is one of those rare ones that can play everywhere on the DL

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

After the game...


Jan 13, 2016, 11:23 AM

I expected Gary might jump the chance to play for us. Having so many d-linemen go pro after their Jr year makes Clemson a place to be for a kid like him.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgringofhonor-clemsontiger1988-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Best of everything to him.

"Because at the end of the game, everyone knew that they weren’t that much better than us or better than us at all."


I am happy for him and respect his decision, but how many


Jan 13, 2016, 11:22 AM

former Clemson DL and DE's are on and off again NFL rosters? We hear good things about them in pre-season camps and then they are cut or signed to practice squads.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I am happy for him and respect his decision, but how many


Jan 13, 2016, 11:28 AM

If he has a degree and a gets drafted he will better off than 90% of the US. No student debt, a degree, unlimited connections, and he is about to probably get a minimum of multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars and maybe even millions.

Getting his degree !


Jan 13, 2016, 11:23 AM

That's what it's all about .Good luck and best wishes to him.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Good for him, he deserves it.


Jan 13, 2016, 11:27 AM

Wish nothing but the best for him.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Good luck big man


Jan 13, 2016, 11:28 AM

I'd love for him to stay, and think he could greatly benefit from another year. But with his age, I don't think he could go wrong with either decision.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

His story is a great lesson in patience, perseverance


Jan 13, 2016, 11:29 AM

and hard work. At 23 it's the smart call for him. Go make us proud just as you've done here at Clemson

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

All the best to a GREAT TIGER!


Jan 13, 2016, 11:30 AM

I hope J Coker's nightmares are getting less scary.

Go give some NFL QBs some nightmares of their own.

Jan 13, 2016, 11:31 AM

I am an Arizona cardinals fan too and on our forum there folks were fawning over how well he played and whether he will be available to them late in first round..

What a great performance in the title game.. I think Mac, Shaq and Dodd will all go in the first round.

We are a NFL farm team guys.. we will be sending a lot to the NFL every year...

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I So dislike that players leave early for the NFL


Jan 13, 2016, 11:31 AM

I hope them the best but if they were "All in" they'd feel a pull to stay. He obviously already had an agent so his decision was made a long time ago. Next man up, unless they all leave....amateur athletes are an endangered species. When we start paying athletes a monthly check and it's coming, as a trade off they should be contractually obligated to stay all 4 years. Sad thing, most of these "jumpers" won't make it. Our sidelines are littered with those jumpers that didn't make it, sad. However, in the spirit of the "All In" mantra hope I hope them success.

How can you say that. Do you know these guys economic situation at home. Some have single mothers that are struggling with their siblings. How would you feel when you went home and saw your kid brother or sister hungry. This Is their reality. Be happy Dodd busted his but and will get rewarded with a paycheck in the league.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Dodd did stay for 4 years


Jan 13, 2016, 11:41 AM [ in reply to I So dislike that players leave early for the NFL ]

he was medically redshirted in 13. Played in 2012, 3 games in 13, 2014 and 2015.

He's getting his degree in May


Jan 13, 2016, 12:12 PM [ in reply to I So dislike that players leave early for the NFL ]

Can't be more ALL IN than that! He's fulfilled every requirement as a Clemson STUDENT-athlete in my book. Time for him to make some money!!

He's 24 and will get his degree.***

We will have more schollies available to reload with.

Thank you for all you have done Kevin


Jan 13, 2016, 11:32 AM

I have no issue with this. I have no issue with a fully developed player, who will graduate with a degree, foregoing their last year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft. He did things right. So proud of him! I look forward to watching you on Sundays.

into the first round. It is hard to tell a young man to turn down money but there is a WORLD of difference between first round money and the rest of the rounds. Thanks for all you've given us and good luck!

He is set to get his degree this spring. The way he showed out on the big stage in the championship against the "mighty NFL" Alabama O-line - he should go to the NFL. No questions! Good luck Kevin! Another Clemson DE in the league.

Thank you Kevin! It was a pleasure watching you grow as a person and hone in on your God-given talent. I will never forget your contribution to this 2015 storyline. We appreciate you and will be cheering for you at the next level. (Go to the Giants, we need help!) :)
