Lattimore retiring

Retiring? I wonder if someone told him that he gets no benefits retiring after one year.

A player you couldn't help but admire no matter which team you cheer for. Though I am not a niners fan, I had to admire them taking him knowing it was possible he would never see the field in the NFL. I know he did everything he would to rehab. And had he been successful in that rehab and made his NFL debut, I would have been a niners fan for at least one day. I hope he does well in whatever decision he makes for his future.

The Ole Ball Coach ran him into the ground.

I dont know his speaking skills. Seemed like a humble guy handing ball to refs when he scored ala Barry Sanders. If he can talk about the game maybe he would be a good SEC network representative.

Hate to hear it for the guy. I was hoping for good things for him.

I would love to see anyone replace that goofy finebum guy.

If he left a year earlier he would be a millionaire. Sad end to a football career

Brings up interesting thought. How much of USCjr fall is related to being without Lattimore and Clowney? I know some can be attributed to them moving on, but I think without OBC recruiting some very close to those two's talents USCjr goes back to being mediocre.

Lattimore and Clowney were both in state guys, two kind of players that dont come around a lot in a short spawn of time. A little lucky. South Car recruiting is rough.

Literally brought tears to my eyes watching him get injured in 2012. I hate this for him, hopefully he finds another niche in life. Best wishes from volnation

Everything I've read said he is just weighing his options, but hasn't made a decision yet. Am I missing something?

My heart still to this day goes out to him and his family. Amazing talent. Hope he is as successful off the field as he was on the field.

He was about to get cut, because he tried to practice last week and the knee didn't hold up.

I really, really feel bad for the young man and hope he has a successful life in another field.

I hate it for him. Who was it that blew up his knee. I want to say cam Sutton but if he's been out of two years it couldn't be him. Either way... I fell bad for him. He didn't really have a chance to make his money. And he was a Adrian Peterson caliber talent

I think it was Eric Gordon that came in low when Lattimore had someone on his back

And kids, this is why you stay four years and get a degree. Very unfortunate for this guy. Was a solid running back.

Fans on Cockytalk still saying it was a purposeful, dirty hit.

I hated it then and hate it as much now for him.

Lattimore was a stand up guy. I don't blame him for trying to make it in the NFL. I'm sure he has the money to finish college now if he wants to. I hope he does and gets into coaching.

You do know that typically universities let these guys back in and put then on a non athletic scholarship?
