We'd have a shot, but I think Florida/Georgia is that week, too. Oregon/USC could also be a possibility.

ANYONE who thinks he has already proven himself to NFL teams then I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I want to sell. If he had already proven himself he would have declared last year. If he pulled a king on this year he would kill his position in the NFL draft because teams would see him as a quitter.

I know Patrick personally and you could not be more wrong or more of an *******

I am pretty sure I read he received the same "score" as Tony Pollard...

Ed Oliver, quitter, 9th pick overall.

Taylor is currently ranked anywhere from 10 to 15 among possible draft eligible running backs for 2020 on various ranking sites. Assuming all eligible RBs declare that would likely make him a day 2 selection which isn’t bad in a league that is increasingly devaluing the running game. With a good showing at the combine, he could find himself going in the late 4th or early 5th round.

Nascar guy at it again. Nick Bosa shut it down after the TCU game on Sept. 15th last year. Selected #2 overall by the 49ers.

NFL scouts could care less whether top players play. Most would prefer they not play to avoid risk of injury.

I’m all fairness, Bosa had season-ending surgery and was already projected as a top 5 pick. The decision to leave OSU was a no-brainer for him. Same can be said about Ed Oliver. Taylor may be in a similar situation in that his draft status is set and playing games on a bad tire can only serve to lessen his value.

The cocktail party would be hard for game day to pass this year if both team continue to play well. If Florida falters not so much. They can go for cocktails as long as they send us the blimp and the technical crew and equipment.

I’m not sure I understand which particular posts you are referencing here. Since various opinions going different directions are posted, who is wrong from your vantage point?

I’m not poking or trolling, just curious....

I do think he has something to prove. He was the backup running back last year and I'm pretty sure scouts would like to see him as the feature back. If he was a guarantee 1st round pick then shutting it down wouldn't be bad. Since he is trying to improve his stock then playing is the best option unless he wants to redshirt and come back. Looking at hindsight, Darrell Henderson should have played in the bowl game. A good bowl vs a p5 opponent and he could have parlayed himself in a better situation than being a 3rd stringer and not seeing the field with the Rams.

He will be back playing soon enough.

Henderson has a pretty good gig.and this time will help his wheels as he signs a second contract.
