Darnell made himself alot of money this year. Most mocks I have seen have him as a late first, or second round pick. Byron Youngs decision to NOT opt-out could pay off big as well. Had 2 sacks and forced Cade into an awkward throw on his first pick. I have no problem with opt-outs like Hyatt or Tillman, but I do enjoy seeing guys who decide to stick it out have big performances to help their draft stock.

Beasley was a beast. One of the best defensive efforts for one game that we’ve had in a while

Same here. I completely understand the guys opting out, it’s business decision. But I love it when the guys that play, crush it. They gambled on themselves, and on not getting injured, and the gamble paid off.

Darnell Wright has just been exceptional this year. WOW, talk about living up to the hype. That's how a 5* does it!

Watching him just absorb bammer's Will Anderson like a black hole was just a thing of beauty. We don't aa acome close to winning that game without his performance.

I'm really tired of QBs, then RBs/ WRs getting cononly stant media praise. Milton won Player of Game in OB and not Aaron Beasley. Other guys are just as good, but get ignored. ESPNs rediculous coverage of the Clemson QB ... it never ends. I don't think Darnell Wrights name was ever mentioned once the other night.

Really happy for Darnell. He was tempted to leave when Pruitt got canned but stayed and even played out of position at LT in ‘21 because the team needed him. I thought he played well at LT, but he really balled out when he got to move back to RT in ‘22. I hope he makes bank in the draft and has a great NFL career.

Darnell is about to make a dump truck load of money. Really happy for this young man. He stayed and worked his butt off when most jumped ship.

Not too long ago Beasley was getting trucked by quarterbacks. Now he's doing the trucking. Glad he'll be back next year

Agreed, the game is won in the trenches. Darnell allowed zero sacks this year on over 800+ snaps. Bleacherreport put out their top 150 players for this upcoming draft. Tennessee had 6 guys on it, Darnell was the highest at 21st overall. He should have a long profitable career at the next level.
