Yes, this is interesting. Bama doesn't have a great record of putting a ton of receivers (or quarterbacks) into the NFL.

Defensive players, O-linemen and running backs...sure....but not much from the passing game.

Especially considering how many MAC receivers have gotten their shot, with many becoming successful (Jennings and Brown come to mind)

C'mon! Amari Cooper and Julio Jones?

Maybe there are other reasons besides pro football that are motivating him to make the move. For example, he could be a starter on a national title contender vs. a starter on a Potato Bowl/Go Daddy contender.

I imagine being an Alabama player has more perks, all things considered.

Here is what was posted from him on the bg website:

Quote:At this time I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Bowling Green community for the amazing journey I have been on the past three years. BG will always hold a very special place in my heart and that of my family. The memories I take with me will no doubt have me looking back to remember some of the best times of my life. Being a part of 3 MAC championships and winning 2 is something not many can say they did. I am so proud to be a member of the teams that accomplished this lofty goal! I have met some of my best friends in the world at BG, friends that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I met my wonderful girlfriend here and got to go to college with my two brothers. My whole experience at Bowling Green has been nothing but positive. I will graduate with my brother and my girlfriend in May. It just doesn't get much better than that. I have been truly blessed the last three years.

Since the bowl game and our season ended I have been contemplating the direction for what I wanted to do in the future. I contemplated the NFL, but decided I needed another year to improve at the college level. I spoke with my family and decided a graduate degree would serve me long after football ends. I looked at programs at several schools including Bowling Green and decided that my best fit was going to be at the University of Alabama in a program that BG does not offer. I will be attending school and continuing my football career at Alabama.

I wish nothing but the best to the players and coaches at Bowling Green. My time as a Falcon is better than I could have ever imagined.

I would like to give a special thanks to our AD Chris Kingston. He has been like a second father to me while I have been at BG and helped me grow into the man that I am today. He is the best AD in the country and I hope to always continue my friendship with him.

I also need to thank my trainer Al. He is not only great at what he does but is also one of the best guys I have ever met. He kept me healthy for three years and for that I am eternally thankful! Al Nasty! Hell yeah!

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank coach Dave Clawson and his staff for believing in me and giving me this opportunity at BG. Wake was one of the schools I considered for my masters...a top notch school and soon to be a top notch football program with that tremendous staff. I had a great visit at Wake and for that I want to thank them.

I would like to thank Coach Babers, Coach Lewis and Coach McCloud as well as the rest of the BG staff for helping me fine tune my tool belt and become the football player I have always wanted to be. There is always more work to be done but the tools they gave me I will carry with me forever. You guys will always have a special place in my heart.

Lastly, I want to sincerely thank the BG fans and community. I always felt supported at BG, be it by the fans at the game to the members of the community. What a wonderful place to go to school and play football! It has been an awesome three years and everyone has treated me with kindness and respect. BG will always be my college and I will always consider myself part of the Falcon Family.

Thank you to all of you and God bless!

In fact, it has been 4,093 days since Toledo last won a division title.

Dieter likely won't be better than the 3rd or 4th receiver on Bama's roster. You think he has any better shot at getting drafted from Bama than he does with BG?

Maybe he just wants to play for a national championship team, which is fine. Most guys don't get that kind of opportunity.

He has a legitimate shot to be the #2 receiver. Alabama obviously has great players but after Ridlay for the wide receivers, there really is not too much else.

Please, 2014 BGSU won the MAC East and lost to everybody in the MAC West except for EMU, who the Falcons didn't play.

They played 5 crossover games?

So? We didn't win a title in 2014.

I seem to recall drilling NIU in that 2014 title game....how did UT do against NIU that year?

Not quite. They killed us in 2014. We beat them in 2013 and 2015. Toledo didn't win a title in either year, and none since 2004.

@NIU 27 UT 24 with Toledo playing its WR at QB for most of the game.

Yes... yes... they do. "Delusional" is thinking they don't.

2013....2014....2015....We've been playing for rings for so long it's all running together. ***** about it all you want, but when we needed to go into WMU to take out the rowers, we did it. When we needed to take out NIU for the title, we did it. You had them both at home needing to beat just one of them to win the west and..... your boys choked.

Maybe your AD should actually exit NW Ohio when he looks for a new coach. This "hire local" thing isn't working out. Is he on some kind of probation where he isn't allowed to leave Ohio?

No..you finished third in the west. You did not win a title... you have not won a title since the days before Youtube. Part of becoming a winner is accepting that you are a loser... this makes it possible to improve.

Ah, I, see. BG must be one of the biggest winners ever because they sure have accepted that they are losers.Of six in a row. BTW, that whole post is nonsensical but amusing.

When... exactly..did the Alzheimer's kick in?

Rockets did have 28 votes in Final AP Poll(#30), 27 votes Coaches Poll(#28), and ranked #25 in the CBS rankings. How did the MAC Champs fare?

You...already...forgot? I'm guessing about six years ago since you don't seem to remember all those losses that made BG a winner.

He forgot his "BG 52 UT 21" prediction for the last season.
