Jaylon Returning to Notre Dame to Finish Degree

[SoupcanSam]

ND had a pretty good defense last year.

No they didnt.

 

[Plumfool]

Remember all those people on this board saying he was a wasted pick and then proceeded to pretend to be doctors saying he will never play for us? Fun times.

 

[phildadon86]

Along with some posters that claimed he was basically stupid too, not bright enough to call plays for us......

I have always wondered if some were down on Smith simply because he went to ND. ND often causes this visceral bitterness in some fans that carries over to players from there.

Good info man. I am from Toronto so I dont understand the hatred within college football. lol

And he doesn't even have to take out any student loans!

 

[Sydla]

No they didnt.

Yes they did.

Football Outsiders, for example, had them as the 7th ranked D in football last year. They were 14th in scoring D.

I dunno. Room, tuition and food at a big university?
Maybe breaking even lol

It's not top 5

Good for him, this guy is really becoming one of my favorite Cowboys.

 

[IheartRomo]

Good for, Jaylon. Not only does his having a good head on his shoulders benefit us in the coming years, but it'll benefit him in the long run as well.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

A clear eye view of life. At some point football will end and life goes goes on. Congratulations on being better prepared for the journey.

 

[Rockdoc]

in the short term Jaylon is our NEs Hightower

LOL.

You say strange things.

 

[TDHND]

So happy for this kid. Glad he's doing that.

I wish I could of finished my undergrad as a millionaire.

Zero financial related stress while being a full time student even for 1 semester. JS is probably living really nice close to campus.

Tough to retire on 1 million.

At 4 percent return, its only 40k a year. Then throw in your taxes, etc.

He's smart to get that degree.

He didn’t claim it was. He said they had a pretty good defense last year, and they clearly did. You can’t argue that 14th out of 130 isn’t pretty good.

 

[charron]

Good for Jaylon.

As a Notre Dame fanatic, loved when they recruited him; LOVED him as a player/leader on the team, cried a little (I can admit that - SO WHAT?) when they drafted him and texted everyone I know....and this just solidifies the type of person that he is - he doesn't NEED to get this degree, but I bet somewhere along the line he told coach "I'm leaving, but I promise I will get my degree..."

amongst my favorite players EVER

 

[Jeffkills]

He's just going to be scouting the campus honeys...

Just imagine how fun that'd be!

Return to campus as a total super-star! Just walking around campus, dolling out the high-fives while simultaneously beating off girls by the hundreds with a long, pointed stick!!!

Have fun!!

Excellent. An education always lasts longer than the temporary fame of pro football. An education can open doors not previously available. More importantly, an education is one of the few things in life than can never be taken away.

Dementia will handle it.

Imo they were not a good defense.
