When his playing days are done, dude needs to go around lecturing college guys about the lunacy of coming back for your senior year. Especially as a RB.

Mostly fighting. I think at Georgia he got into some bar fights and when he transferred to Florida and they played Georgia, he punched one of his former teammates after a play.

Maybe keep him away from Quay so they stay out of trouble :lol:

:lol: Yeah Quay and Wyatt may not be thrilled about this but who cares, we need some “meanstreak” dudes as long as they can keep themselves in check tho.

Dealing with people who exhibit the "smartest person in the room" syndrome can be a challenge. One approach is to listen their opinion while also encouraging open-mindedness. It's important to create an environment where all voices are valued.

He looks like about a dozen unnecessary roughness penalties. Why not give him a shot?

Seems like a pretty weak reason to kick someone off the team.. it’s hard to tell everything that transpired tho. I hope he keeps his head together, he looks like a player.
