Hopefully, some NFL agent isn't blowing smoke up the young man's ass. Sometimes they'll tell kids what they want to hear to make a few bucks. This is worst case and I hope this doesn't happen to him. I wish him the best and I hope he plays for a team that appreciates him as much as KSU does.
did you even read the kellis article? says the nfl draft advisory board predicted a mid-round grade and that lee wants to help support his mom. it's not some rando agent taking advantage of him. at the end of the day, these kids absolute bust their ass for my personal enjoyment and the minute they have the opportunity to turn that into cash money, i'm fine with it. by this time next year he could have blown out his acl, had a subpar year like barnett, or be in the exact some draft position except with another year of wear and tear on his body. i'll miss him playing for the cats, but he's only doing what any of us would do if offered a fantastic new job opportunity.
Not sure you can say that when everyone stayed away from him all year. He'll be fine.
But the problem people see is that the last rounds and UDFA are there to fill out roster spots on the depth chart. At the rounds where he is projected at it's a crap shoot to see where teams feel they need depth. That doesn't bode that well, especially when you look at how well the draft projections work out for him.
Clearly Lee should have invented an online girlfriend or something to raise his draft stock, I hear that is good for undersized linebackers.
