Well he could have just paid to go to college like everyone else but was offered the opportunity to showcase his skills to be drafted. I guess he could have just waited for the XFL to come back to showcase his talent!

I am pretty sure that 2nd rd draft contract will buy that house for him!


And what a house it would be with a Recording Studio! Ok, I really need to stop!

Young Scout to Old Scout: I bet you hate rap music!

Old Scout to Young Scout: If you can call that ol' stanky booty gorilla noise "music."

Exploitation - hmm. A system that gives a select few the chance to be drafted in the NFL. How about the exploitation of charging 30k to go to college per year for degrees they cant use in the real world. There are a lot more exploited kids in college than athletes. Cry me a river for these athletes! Hey, college basketball players only have to be exploited for one year - football only two - it's rough, I know! Poor guys!

Without the college system these kids have nothing. I am all for them trying to go out on their own and creating a league out of High School - they should go for it!

He's off to a great start, I'd worry if he was working out with the OL. Recognizing one's position is the first step up the success ladder.

the guy was booted off one team and told not to participate in the bowl game by the next team

but I’m sure you have a convenient excuse for that too

he had significant concentration, focus and maturity issues. He may “grow up” but it is up to him to prove that he can

Like I said in my original post, the reason for his suspension/exile from LSU could be a concern but I don't know much about it other than it was for violating team rules, at least that's all I could find. I'm not his mom or agent trying to sell you on him being a stand up guy, but to say that a hobby of his is a red flag seems like nitpicking.

It seems you have to be saving orphans and rescuing puppies 24/7 to not be accused of "character issues" lately, and I'm not referring to you specifically. The off the field issues that Parsons supposedly has are so ridiculous.

How come nobody gets on these kids for having Twitch streams playing video games? Having a hobby doesn’t mean they don’t work hard at their job

His suspension at LSU was not attached to his leaving. They never said what the supsension was about but my assumption is that it was testing positive or getting caught with weed. He originally wanted to leave because of the suspension but backed out but then a couple months later decided to transfer when the coaches posted the depth chart. Helman asked at LSU and they said he's a good guy.

If that's the case neither instance sounds that bad. Don't have to worry about weed suspensions in the NFL anymore.

Remember the draft with Rodgers-Cromartie, Jenkins, Talib, Flowers.....

There was some non sense out there that Talib had attitude issues or whatever.

I dont recall perfectly but it was something along those lines.

Anyway he ended up being the best of that bunch.

Hopefully same situation.

This my friend is called Stereo Typing. Have we not learned anything in 2020/2021!!!!

What red flags are you certain of? Could it be these 50 year old Caucasian Scouts just done' t connect with the younger black generation on having ambitions of making Rap Music; HMMM! Cole Beasley was rapping before he got drafted and you never knew that until he made a CD after a fee years on the team. Why were there no red flags for him? So enlighten me, what red flags does he have that no other young man has at his age? I served on 3 Air Craft Carries, and I can assure you that young men and women between 18-26 are still making terrible life changing decisions. We all do, the smart ones learn from their errant way and others fall by the waist side. Its really not unusual, sometime a young man just needs some one to look up too.
20 teams took him off their boards according to reports because of red flags and it is not because of rap albums so just stop with the race bs.

Your blind my sir, you eyes are wide open closed. We will just have to agree to disagree. If your not comfortable talking about it, then don't reply. Also, how do know for a fact 20 teams took him off their board. Your just repeating what another beat write reports. I guarantee 20 teams did not take him off their board. You have no facts about this matter, just repeating public hearsay. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not their own facts.

If you can not understand the reality of why teams pass on talent and blame race then you have a problem. You guarantee what , you do not know as the only reports are many teams passed because of football dedication concerns. How many reports are there about all the teams lined up to grab him. You are living in a small sad world where 50 year old whites are the bad guy, sorry that's your baggage and you should look at dumping it. Reality is if the guy has passion for the game and talent it doesn't matter what he is or in most cases what he does. I believe in this case it's the passion and dedication that is questioned.

is there a quote of a coach or someone questioning his passion and dedication or is just fans like you because you found out he has a hobby?
