Donald Gray

[RiverCityDawg]

Since Donald Gray graduated, any concern over him doing like Beniquez Brown and just moving on and trying for the NFL?

Whether this is the "right" decision or not is a separate issue, I'm curious as to whether IYOK or anyone else knows if we are safe with him staying.

[missouridawg]

Donald has publicly stated that he is coming back. Whether or not he commits to that, is to be seen. We desperately need him next year though, as he has some of the best hands we've ever seen at State.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Donald will be back.

[SDDawg]

Sounds like he is staying. The only upside of De'Runnya leaving early was the example it set for what not to do. And our coaches can point to easily. No one thought that De'Runnya would end up completely out of football, but it can happen to anyone that's not a top prospect.

If Wilson were on the Vikings roster would he have played more than - ?

If the Vikings had invested the money in bear that they did in a certain other WR he would still be there. I doubt he would be playing or someone would have picked him up as a FA.

It's sad that the Vikings have a WR that played in Germany that knows more pass routes than Treadwell.

He has a shot of being really good and increasing his draft status.

He needs to show that he can return kicks because his size is going to be an issue. The more things he can do the more value he has.

I want Keith Mixon handeling all things return related. #HR

[MafiaDawg]

Turns out It looks like Bennie made a mistake too but it doesn't get talked about near as much as Wilson.

Josh for that matter as well. Lesson- if you are not a sure fire first or second round pick go back to school.

^^^^^No question about it...this right here.

Yeah, I just feel like Mixon is the first world class speed offensive player we've had since Mullen has been here. He's also the closest thing we've had to Percy Harvin since Mullen has been here. I'm genuinely excited about the potential of his role in this offense next year.

He's basically a bigger, stronger, faster Hollloway with better receiving ability. If used correctly, due to our inside running game and his ability to stretch the edge, I think there's a real chance he turns into s boaderline All SEC player next year.

Hope your right Gun, he sure has the potential.

That settles it. Put him at tailback

Yeah, barring something crazy where he gets picked up, I won a bet saying he wouldn't catch a pass in the NFL this year. Hate it for him. Had he come back he would've had a chance to work on some things, but I'm not sure he's much of a hard worker regardless. Had he come back and worked on his speed, catching the ball with his hands away from his body, and high-pointing the ball he could've been a stud going into the NFL this year.

He needs to show that he can return kicks because his size is going to be an issue. The more things he can do the more value he has.

Being a standout kick returner would increase his stock, but probably not a must. He's already drawn comparisons to 5'9" Steve Smith who's still playing in the NFL at 37, then guys like Kendall Wright for the Titans (5'10", average speed) show good route running and hands alone can overcome size disadvantage even in the present day.

The big difference is that Beni had his degree while Bear did not.
