Been rumbles about that, but I find it doubtful. Saban would tell him to go since he should be first round or maybe high second round at worst if they are worried about injuries. He's gonna make money.

I've read different things about the severity of his injury. CNS said something like "damange to a ligament", and I read elsewhere it was a torn ACL. Doesn't seem like if he'd torn his ACL he would be able to even be doing what he was doing just a few weeks after surgery.

If it's not that severe he will be right in that mix you've mentioned. If he can't get on the field for pre season camp, I'm sure that would ding the draft stock. Interrior lineman aren't typically a high value position, although every now and then teams target and find great ones.

Interior lineman aren’t high value unless you want to protect your QB - which is every team in the NFL. A center is the brains of the unit and makes blocking calls. No play starts without a center.

He has a history of injury though. ACL tear in 2016. Missed nine games in 2017 due to injury. 2018 was a redshirt year due to injury. And then this year another injury.

Draft value, @OldPlayer... Draft value. I agree the QB doesn't get the ball if he doesn't put his hands up the center's butt....

7 interior linemen were drafted in the first round last year (21.88%). Overall, 47 of the 255 players drafted (18.43%) were interior linemen. That’s significant.

OK! Will someone in the know. List the ones that are leaving and staying?

Good luck and Roll Tide to him. Was he hurt or something? I have to say I'd never heard of him until this post.

He was hurt. Played more early in the season and I don't think played at all after the LSU game.

He played in the NCG. He’s a big guy so was usually brought in to block when they went to the heavy package. I think I saw him catch one ball all year.

Had one kick return for 23 yards this year. Zero receptions.

If healthy, I think he's actually a very good TE prospect. He can catch, blocks, super tall.. And I believe was a HS QB. Despite the injuries he put together a really good year.... Certainly his best chance to cash out

Did anybody really think he was coming back? If so, why?

I think it's just him releasing a statement, pal.

Silly season. Some folks assume that no announcement coupled with a rumor they heard from someone who once ate at Ramma Jamma's means it must be true.
