He probably got caught up in all his teammates leaving. Didn't want to be left behind.

He probably didn't want to watch the video of the Natty again with his teammates and see his 2 coverage busts that cost us the game.

Really? You feel the need to put him down ? You don't know his situation and the thought behind his decision. If that's the way you feel then you shouldn't have a problem with his choice.

First bust he got fooled by the OJ Howard fake block. Give Howard and Lane Kiffin credit for that one. It was a well called and well executed play.
Impossible to tell if the second bust was on him or Adrian Baker. Looks like each one thought the other was supposed to go deep. Only BV knows for sure.
Green ran down Howard on his third catch and nearly ran down the kick return. He's got wheels.

Some make the decision based on financial and personal situations.

I am all about players leaving early to get paid, I would do the same. However, he may never get paid by an NFL team and now he has no degree either.

Dabo took care of this a few years ago. That's how we have guys like Terry Allen back getting a degree and helping out.

TJ had some wonderful moments this year. He really made some fantastic plays, BUT he also had some major busts. NFL teams will not accept that. Of course I wish him the best but I think he absolutely could have used another year.

Playing next to Mack made playing Safety a lot easier and it made those 2 look good. Tank is no scrub either. Plus they had elite pass rushers during both years. Both will have good combines and their tape might have gotten more exposed this upcoming year with a young D line and no Mack. I think we are good at safety, more worried about corner. TJ played a lot more snaps in 3 years than most expected him to play in 5. I think we have to let it play out to really see. NFL drafts so much in potential, coaches think they can coach anyone with size and speed. See Clowny.

Martavis would have been a 1-2 round pick if he had stayed—or he would have gotten kicked off the team.
He's been a one-man highlight reel when he's on his game, but has also been suspended for drugs and has been called out for poor work ethic.

He will definitely make a team due to his speed alone. He

needs more coaching at safety and could have gotten drafted higher next year with a solid season, but even if he is just a special teams player he'll be making $300k a year. Get some coaching at his position, and maybe get a shot down the road. There has got to be something else to his situation, otherwise he would have been back.
