If I would put myself in his shoes, I will probably decide to run very fast.

I would probably go to NFL. I understand that he does not carry the load like the backs do at Wisconsin so there is an argument for staying and developing his protection and receiving skills (and futher patience when needed with his blockers).
But a major injury can happen at any time - so I'd head out.

I'd have to know and see the RBs coming out this year.......
Jan 16, 2020, 2:24 PM
|
|
and how the RB class compares to next year.
I've heard this year's RB class is fairly loaded compared to next year.

NFL. Avg'd 8.0 yds a carry this year. Nothing else to prove

at this level. Low mileage. It's a no-brainer in my opinion.

Second in the country in YPC. Had about as good a season as any running back can have.

After only 15 carries in my hometown... I'd leave for the NFL
My coaches don't have faith in my ability.

Weird, I was at home and able to notice he wasn't getting the ball and we were forcing 3rd and long time after time in the 2nd instead of the 1st half where the run was working and I'm not even paid a mil to make those decisions and not have it happen.

Yes I noticed too. Coach should have ran the ball on the second possession of the second half down 3. He wanted to strike fast but 16 was having an off night. It happens we have to move past that and look what they accomplished this year. I wanted to kick my tv over because I saw 9 running the ball well on the first possession after the half. So he should have stuck with 9.

This is something that Dabo should pick up on as well. He's got to step in and get us back on track.

ETN has had very little wear and tear at Clemson.

Many backs have more caries in two seasons than he’s had in three.

I think his decision is by far the toughest one, bc the rb class is pretty deep and he could and prob will be like the 5th bro at earliest taken... that’s ALOT of money (10s of millions) difference middle first round to late second or even later depending on team needs, next year he could def be the number 1 or 2 back taken and it’s something I would really be thinking about bc if the “shelf life” is that short in the nfl then you wanna make as much as you can on the front side... which I think he would next year. Honestly with our rb room next year he wouldn’t get run that hard ... get up early get a few touches and relax most saturdays. Scouts know what he’s capable of and will def be the number 1/2 rb taken next year

^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^
ETN will be the 6th or 7th back taken. He needs work on pass pro and receiving which are all important in the NFL.

and will have a hard time in the NFL. That would mean get the big money if/when you can. Get a big guaranteed signing bonus and bank it. If he can get it now, he should go. If he can make himself set next year, he should wait.

With Hubbard (spelling might be wrong) and Harris coming back I think it opens it up for him now. I would go if I were him. He has the rushing record and there’s not much more he can do at the college level other than national awards.

I would go to the NFL. No way he should return. Too much risk.
If he played any other position besides RB, returning might be an option.

You can always come back and get his degree after his NFL career is over. Several athletes have done that. I think he needs to cash them right now while he can because he could get hurt next year.

His stock is pretty high at the moment, likely peaked + RB position=enter the draft-foolish gamble to do otherwise(i wish he would), even if he stays & remains free of injury; it's unlikely his stock increases-

I would leave and enter the draft but man would i love to see him back for one more year. He could solidify himself as the best RB ever at Clemson. He did say post OSU game that there's a good chance he'll return. Im hopeful
