Best wishes to Jalen.

Shout out to @GMG24 for the link.

WOW

Hate to be negative but this doesn't seem to make sense 

[Talon90]

????  

Who is telling him he is going to be drafted???

This is shocking.  He needed a lot better year next year to even be considered in my opinion.  Too many dropped passes and when double teamed he disappeared.  He was a good receiver for us but I didn't see the next level for him at least not yet.

I do hope I am wrong and wish him all the best.  This was just a shocking announcement.

Question. Once they declare are they automatically ineligible to return or can they change their mind?

[greeneagle1]

I am on the same notion as above. I would have loved to see an all conference season from him before he jumps. Maybe he needs the money and will take whatever he can get. Sure hope he can finish his degree.

I wonder if @Brett Vito even knows yet. Its 8:43pm.

Once they hire an agent, they’re committed.  I think?

[MeanGreen22]

Not the right decision in my mind but I know these guys have tons of other variables that come into play. I was under the mindset that a great senior year could’ve made him a 4/5th round guy. 

 

Nevertheless, really hoping to see him succeed bc we all know he has the tools. Ball out, Jalen! GMG

Wtf?

This is Jalen’s fourth year of college. Hopefully he’s close to graduating. Good luck to him

College success doesn’t naturally make a draft pick. He has the  physical tools, with a big pro day, he may end up 3-5

[GreenN'walinsVet]

Also, he graduated in December. Maybe he wasn’t feeling grad school. 

[Texas Stranger]

He graduated during the ceremony in Albuquerque before the bowl game.

Have we ever had a player leave early for the NFL?

Um...ok?

[Felozano]

I wish him nothing but the best!  GMG!

[greenminer]

Is he hiring an agent?

[RiseUNT]

I think he has the tools.

If he grades out well in drills then there's a chance he's drafted. 

[RiseUNT]

People might want our coaches, the NFL might want our players and high school players want to come here. 

I don't even recognize this program amymore.

[Mean Green 93-98]

All the best to Jalen!

[GrandGreen]

As I understand it, a player can declare for the draft and then get a grade from a NFL panel that indicates whether he will be likely a first or second round choice.  If he is not judged that good, he can return to the team providing he has not hired an agent. 

I doubt Guyton has any illusions that he will be that sought after.  He is probably hoping to be a late round draft choice.

I hope he catches on somewhere.  He has the tools just not the consistency at this point.

I hope he gets drafted. I thought one more season could have helped him, but he can play for sure.
