Why did Shipley not participate in any drills at the combine?

Or did I miss something?

He's probably waiting to run at his Pro Day...

His "advisers" must have told him to wait until Clemson's Pro Day. Although I

think he made the right decision for himself declaring for the draft, he is going to be either a very late round, or UDFA. While there may not be that one guy who is head and shoulders above the rest in this years running back class, there are a LOT of them. I honestly think Ship would have been better served to do all the drills at the Combine, and get his name out there to all the teams, but, last time I checked, he didn't ask me.

No matter, the guy carried Clemson for a couple years.
I can't think of any Tiger who gave more.
To say different exposes one as ?
In the up years with more support, he would be seen differently, but maybe not as he carried the Tigers in what some see as down years.
As to what the NFL wants - don't care as they looked away on incredible football players like Dantzler and Boulware.
Shipley is among the best of the best.
TD way -- I stand with this kid.

I never understood the "hate" for Shipley.

He was an all-conference RB who gave everything he had every time he was on the field. Yes, he lost his cool a few times, but it was the frustration of a competitor in my eyes, not a punk with a bad attitude throwing a fit. He's not Christian McCaffery, but he's pretty dang good and we should all be pulling for him instead of constantly criticizing and pointing out perceived weaknesses.
