The more prevalent mentality is "I'm a beast competitor". These guys think it's silly to consider sitting out your last opportunity to play in college. Some of you may call this stupid. But the fact is, this attitude has gotten most of these guys to where they are today.

I agree that there are two mentalities. Just don't agree that either way is the wrong one for the player to make. It's the player's choice, and don't think they should be criticized if they choose to skip non-playoff bowl games.

Miller does not have to show anything else. He could start working with a personal trainer to improve his combine skills, play in the Senior Bowl and then become a millionaire. I wonder if he is practicing with the team right now.

So playing in the Senior Bowl somehow isn't risking his career, but playing in the LB against a very solid P5 opponent is?!!

Yes. He is and WILL be playing in the game!

He has to play in the Senior Bowl. More NFL scouts attend that game than any other game period.

senior bowl is not for people like miller. its for lesser talent to get evaluated.


the game itself means nothing.....its the workouts before the game that the scouts attend

Here's a couple of names for you. Von Miller the #2 overall pick and all pro at Denver played, and Mason Rudolph is playing. I could name many more high end first rounders. Also, DeAngelo played. Try again.

Oregon's all time leading rusher is not playing in his bowl game this weekend.

I don't know why some of you insist on being directly rebutted with facts and then make some stupid comment to try to worm your way out of it.
Oh wait. You never played anything and don't know what your are talking about. I had you on ignore for a reason so not sure why I clicked on read this post but I won't again. Good bye.

If you ever figure it out, don't forget to block us from reading your aliases' posts as well.

I don't use social media personally. I can read the sites but not respond without an account.

Why don't some of you just ask Anthony Miller and Riley and others on their social media sites if they plan on playing in the LB ?

I'm thinking if anyone isn't playing, you won't find out until just before the game

Ok, in the ucf game, we got two of the defensive secondary injured early, otherwise ucf would not have scored that much on us. One tiger returned, but #4 did not return. He was the one who tried to make the interception out of bounds and landed on his hip hard. Does anyone know if #4 is practicing with the team? It will be a big key for the defensive backfield if all the guys starting against ucf can play in the LB. We are so thin in this area.

Miller said on J&J last week that you couldn't keep him from playing in this game.

Thanks for sharing. That's awesome. If he plays, its gonna be harder for any of the others to skip it.

Anybody got news on #4 josh perry ? He's the guy who caught the pass out of bounds and fell on his hip. It's very important that he can play.

Miller is evidently in a boot, hopefully nothing serious.
