Someone has no idea what they are talking about. Polk will not make an nfl roster based on special teams playQuote:

Have you followed the draft before? So confident, and so wrong
ETA... today teams are handing out UDFA contracts and rookie tryout invitations which have no guaranteed money. The saints handed out 10 contracts and 6 rookie tryout invitations.
Oh my god. I thought you were just trolling earlier but you actually have no idea how the NFL worksQuote:

So no he has not signed a. O tract on the weekend of the draft. I’m sure he will though. Lol
Just think, some of you shit heads bashed his coach for saying he made a mistake leaving ...hmph

Odds of him making one are extremely low. I said odds are, not that he can't or won't. But it's a major long shot. And not being able to help special teams will hurt too. He's frail he's not going to be a gunner and he's too slow to be a return guy so it's wr or bust.Quote:

How can you say he wouldn't have benefitted from coming back?Quote:

Your 90% number is a joke. 5th rounders don't make rosters at that rate
Already mentioned it a few times if you go back, but he doesn?t have above average size, speed, or route running. The first 2 are physical and won?t change, the route running is a product of our middle school offense we just don?t let receivers learn the full route tree here. He caught 100 balls and led the SEC in receiving this year and didnt get drafted. Not much left to prove or showcase. As I said earlier maybe he sneaks into round 6-7 if he came back, but NFL doesnt have interest in receivers who aren?t above average at at least one of the 3 traits.Quote:

Couple of things:
He needs to make a smart decision and pick a team he has the best chance to make the roster rather than the team that offers the most money.
Correct, he wasn?t going to get much ?better? with another year at MSU but he might have made some incremental improvement and put more tape out and with a potentially weaker wr class maybe he?s a 4-7 pick.
Hopefully he graduated and got his free degree as that and a potential free graduate degree would be worth something.
Simone brought up Fred Ross and I think Fred was a better wr than Polk and he couldn?t make it. I really thought Fred could carve out a role as a WR 4/5 for some teams.
Now Polk is a UDA that isn?t going to help on special teams probably. Odds are stacked against him but hope he makes it
I don't worry about kids making decisions anymore. They've got to live with it, not me. It's like I tell my kids, don't make a decision you can't overcome. Otherwise, live your life your way. Good luck to him.
Yeah I don?t know why he went to the ravens. They?re light on WR after trading brown but with that offense you probably carry 4 TE and only 5 WRQuote:

I don't agree. I want a very select few to make it. The nfl product is outstanding, and I want it to stay that way.Quote:

They can get a real job. why provide a game in a watered down talent pool, as a means of employment.Quote:

Think about ole miss. They had six guys go undrafted
I can?t wait to bump thisQuote:

One thing more concerning than Polk landing on a roster is the lack of MSU players being draftee. This is the 2nd year in row that we have had only 2 players drafted. Since 2010 we have had only 2 years, 14 and 17, we have had had less than 3 drafted. And next year who is even on the radar? Is it our player development, Scheme or just lack of talent? Even with the new NIL kids do look at this. I hope this is not a bad trend
There are no longer 4 preseason NFL gamesQuote:
