Should have stayed and got his degree no chance in the NFL, maybe he will come back and get his degree and enter the real world like most of us, hope he makes it, but he is to slow and the knee slim chance.

It's funny how some of you get so viscous when we have an underclassman go into the league. Taking it like it's a personal shot to you or something.

I vaguely remember some sort of attitude issue he had last season and CBJ had to handle it. I don't remember exactly when this went down?

Many of us didn't think it was his best decision. We still want these guys to succeed in every phase of life. A degree in hand would of helped him.

I'm not entirely sure Tiny had a choice with regard to playing football with UT. He can always finish his studies it's never too late for that.

I truly hope he does finish his studies. It's very unlikely that he does.

I just wonder if he kept going to class in the fall after making up his mind that he would be declaring for the draft. Many times athletes just say F--- it.

I'm taking Worley over Bray 7 days a week. Bray didn't beat anyone while playing for the Vols.

Bray had Dooley and no defense. In Worley's big SEC win he averaged 5 yards per completion and that includes his 48 yard pass completion to North. If our defense had ever held an SEC team to 21 points while Bray was here I would have liked our chances.

He is still going to make more in his first year in the NFL even on a scout team than he would with a degree from UT. He can always go back to finish and nothing really would be stopping him.

I would like to know where you gather your info. Lots of players come back and get their degree.

I just googled it and found examples. Not sure how to make a link on phone. www.rasmussen.edu/student-life/blogs/main/athletes-with-college-degrees/

No. For a year or two (or three or four) he will make great money from the NFL. But without the degree, his chance to make more by the time he is 40 or 50 or older will be far greater with the degree than going the NFL route. Remember the average career length is only a few years. And Tiny is one legged right now so if anything I would say his chances are below average.

Nothing new, but more confirmation of his knees being the biggest issue.

Bruce Feldman: "Massive Tiny Richardson, a sharp kid who started 24 gms at LT for #Vols went undrafted> It was all medical related. Bad knees, per source."

I wonder if Richardson's knees are strong enough to even give the NFL a go? Might he get surgery first? Doesn't sound too good for him.

Things don't sound good for Tiny. No degree, no NFL. That's the big picture. This is going to be a sad 30 for 30 in about 20 years.

if you are going to dog a former player about leaving for the draft and not getting his degree, at least spell things correctly and form complete sentences in the process
