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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!!

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.

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.
