Hoping you mean, because you're pulling for him- you wanted him to get drafted. Not, because you don't know why.

I love Scott, but why the decision to go pro a year early?
Apr 29, 2017, 8:22 PM

Bad advice from friends or worried about incoming competition? Surely he would have still been a starter next year... Needed the money maybe? I was just a little surprised at his decision (and Gallman's), though Wayne's decision worked out.
Again, nothing against him, but I thought juniors typically only come out if they're projected in the top 2-3 rounds.

What else can he do but be a year older?

He is mature and has the best highlights and consistent productivity. Plus graduated.
The worse thing an undersized player can do is come back because then he's just an old undersized player. He's got a short life in NFL and he has to get when he can. He has had knee scopes which took a step off , don't risk another year in college

So he could do worse than an undrafted free agent if he came back for another year?

He graduated.
Maybe he wants to go to work.
Extra years can give NFL teams more time to find problems with you - like Tajh Boyd.

These kids won't listen to nobody when they feel that they are college hero's on their team and making plays. Hopefully with Clemson players they will understand that if they're are not a super superstar in their junior year, they better use their senior year just to make sure that the NFL is ready for them, and not the other round!!!

Huh? Was he going to grow five inches if he played another year at Clemson?
He's already graduated and won a national title in his home town. What else could he have done? This is really his only chance to make it so I applaud the decision.

I agree with what you're selling, but I could see value in him coming back with a new QB, would have meant a lot more screens and WR runs = more touches and more highlights and more of the focus on Offense which would at least assured him to be drafted BUT we know how good he is so I feel he'll catch on in ST / Returns in LA and hopefully get to the promised land ??

The same height as Antonio Brown who was a FA. Only problem is Antonio ran a 4.4. I wish him the best though.

I think Artavis had already maxed out his draft stock. Remember he was playing a lot of minutes for us even as a true freshman, so that's 3 full seasons of experience at the college level. If he's good enough to make it in the NFL, he'll make it now. If not, I really doubt another year would make much difference.. especially with the receivers we have coming back and big questions at the QB position. Best of luck to Mr. Scott. If nothing else, he'll always be a legend to us.. and he got that degree!

I hate it for him, but this will serve as a cautionary tale for many years to come for those Juniors with a little bit of success that start listening to the lure of the NFL. Most of the time it just DOES NOT work out. Now poor Tay has to go prove himself again while being "underpaid" for three years. During what may be some of his most productive years. That has millions of dollars in lost value.

Ta surely should have come back to school, it would have give him another year to show off his talent for a little longer. It may not have helped, but it surely wouldn't have hurt!!!

Unless he can get taller and faster in a year at Clemson
Apr 30, 2017, 9:25 AM

there's no reason for him to come back. There's already tons of tape on him out there since he was a major contributor for us for 3 years. What do you think he could do next year to help him get drafted higher?
The truth is that NFL teams just aren't looking for a short WR with very average speed that pretty much only catches screen passes and takes end-arounds in college. His game doesn't translate to the NFL. Great college player, but likely just not an NFL guy.

If he came back to Clemson he could work on his speed

which is the only thing holding him back. IMO he'll be ok but the NFL is not the place to straighten out major pieces of your game. He can make a ST impact and have a shot at making the roster.

WRU's all time leading receiver doesn't get drafted? Another example of Dumb ### GMs and "analysts" in the NFL. Looking forward to see him play the week before the Super Bowl in the Pro Bowl game. Congrats bro!!!!

NFL gm's could care less about someone being an all time leading receiver at a school if 80% of their catches are screens and jet sweeps. His yard per catch average is super low also and he didn't impress at the combine. It's not hard to see why he didn't get drafted. Great college player but the NFL has million players like him trying to get their foots in the door.

Clemson Paw Blacked Out?
Apr 30, 2017, 9:17 AM
|

Is the Clemson Paw on Scott's jersey neckline blacked out? On the image attached to the tweet.
Seems odd given the giant paws on the helmet and shoulder pads were ok.
Perhaps it was too close to the nike logo.

tone it. They probably just forgot to omit the white in the paw from toning it dark purple
