Always felt like he really had potential if he could’ve landed in a better situation. I think he just got stuck in a crappy spot here with crappy coaches and a crappy team. Nevertheless, most of the time, things shake out the way they’re supposed to with talent. Seems like a great kid, but I really can’t envision a scenario where he gets drafted.

I wish the kid luck, and I surely hope that he enjoyed his college career. From the outside, it looks as though it was a letdown.....again, hopefully for him it was not.

I would guess he's graduating with a degree from a top-notch academic institution in Northwestern, so things could be much, much worse.
100% true. I was just looking at it from an athletic POV. The kid has to look back and think, "man, what could have been..." But like I said, maybe not. I hope he has no regrets, and I hope he (surprises and) finds success in the NFL.

Yeah, I agree. As I said in the OP above, I think he just landed in a crappy spot coming out of high school and his development was thrown off from the outset. I'm sure he's wondering "what might have been" had he not committed to play for Muschamp just as Gamecock fans wonder "what might have been" had we not hired Muschamp.
