I'd just as soon hope he moves on. He ain't nearly as good as his reputation, plus I'm tired of watching him kill drives with penalties.

I am not an NFL talent scout, but IMO, he's not helped his draft stock. He has the physical skills. That's been known since last year. Where he took a hit this year was showing mental discipline. Anyone who doesn't believe teams look at this would be mistaken. I can't say how much it would factor into their decision on when to take him, but I can't believe it wouldn't cause some drop. If he goes, my guess is he's a second day pick. I highly doubt he's first round after this year. But if his family needs the money, then he should go. Even a second day pick makes good money and he has the potential to make more in his second contract.

No matter what decision Tiny makes, best of luck to him. He's a beast waiting to be coached up, IMO, and I appreciate his time as a Vol. I hope he keeps ties with the Vols no matter what road he chooses.

I agree with your assessment but you never know, heck, Tebow was a first round selection.....

I'm interested to see where the others go in the draft this season.

Miller, McCullers, Hood, James, Stone, Smith, Bullard, etc. etc.

I realize some will be 1st day selections, some will be 2nd day selections, some will be 3rd day selections ,while others will be free agents and yet others will never have their phones ring at all.....

Perhaps it's the alcohol talking but I hope he and AJ both leave for the NFL. I'm so tired of sucking that I just want our roster to receive as large of an "enema" as possible so we can start bringing in more talented players who fit CBJ's system better. The sooner we do that, the sooner we'll start winning IMO.

As he left the locker room to the bus..the remaining UT fans that waited chanted "one more year" In the grand scheme of things it means very little but tiny did seem to embrace the idea with the fans.

He actually IS part of the team until he turns pro so let's just wait and see. If I were him I'd be saying " Show Me The Money!" Hope he goes to the Falcons.

This is correct. Not to mention that the draft analysts still have him going first round. He should go and I don't believe CBJ will be "recruiting" him to do anything except what is in his best interest.

AJ.... Maybe not as clear, but I believe his skill set is better than most of the posters on here and will translate well to the NFL. The worry for AJ is going in the really late rounds and that would be bad.

Tiny, your draft stock will never be higher. Please go play on Sundays.

What? If you don't think we could benefit from having a mammoth OT (who could possibly be a late 1st to 2nd Rd NFL draft pick) return for his senior season, you are out of you damn mind. :crazy:

He'll have a chance to clean up some loose parts of his game and have more talent/experience surrounding him in the skill position. If I am Jalen Hurd, I'm pleading with Tiny to return. Having (incoming) Blair at the RT spot, Weisman at RG, and Jackson at LG, this could be a seriously good OL.

With all the help coming in this next class, it could be a special year for Tiny, and I think his draft stock would improve immensely.

Words can't describe how much I love this team and these seniors. Glad we sent them out right now it's time for team #118 to prepare!

Is he going to be a part of team #118? Tweet seems promising.

That could be taken two ways. He could be saying it from the point of view of returning and he's going to start working now, or it could be as a passing of the torch to 118.

Negative. There is a HUGE difference in salary from a Top 10 pick to a late 1st or 2nd Rd'er. Plus, rookie contracts are usually 4-5yrs in length...so you WANT to make sure you get as much as you can as a rookie, cause it's going to be a long while before you start talking about a 2nd contract.

Staying one more year, to polish up his game and likely a Top 5-10 spot, will mean a difference in MILLIONS of dollars. If the team gets back on the winning track and is in the thick of the SEC East race next year, then his stock will jump significantly, all by itself.

I've followed the draft closely for years and I know how NFL teams tend to look at players from winning teams MUCH more favorably than those that come from losing teams. So, again....if he returns, polishes up his game, and if the Vols can return to their winning tradition, then he will be one of the first 2 OT's taking in the draft. And they are typically taken first in the draft, behind only franchise level QB's.

Tiny said what a VFL should say, to give his team a charge going forward into next year. Doesn't mean that he will be part of it physically, but I think it shows how much he will always love Tennessee.

I wish he would stay, but he won't. If we were looking to be in the hunt for anything other than a bowl game, then maybe, but he's not gonna hang around to try and get to the Music City Bowl. He's passing the torch in a classy way. Good for him!

You make your money in bonuses. You never see all the money your suppose to see. There is more than what meets the eye. A lot of if's and should you's in the contract. So at the end of the day, if your a top ten pick, your set for life, if your not, you must absolutely be smart with your money (although all players need to be smart with anything they make.)

So your signing bonuses is where you make a brunt of the money anotherwards. The upfront money is the money u for sure see. Everything else, there is a good chance you won't see, especially the later the pick. As far as tiny goes, he should leave. Football is crazy. He could get injured next year and you never wanna risk that. He will play multiple years in the NFL and be set for life as long as he is smart with it.
