http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefoo...am-school-rules-according-to-les-miles-081012 LSU has kicked star defensive back Tyrann Mathieu off the team for violation of team and school rules, Tigers coach Les Miles said Friday. “This is a very difficult day for our team,” Miles said. “We lose a quality person, teammate and contributor to the program. However, with that being said, we have a standard that our players are held to and when that standard is not met, there are consequences. “It’s hard because we all love Tyrann. We will do what we can as coaches, teammates, and friends to get him on a path where he can have success. We are going to miss him.”
Tyrann Mathieu Dismissed From LSU Going to transfer to an FCS school after 3rd failed drug test. NFL stock was debatable, but this certainly doesn't help.
I don't think he'll make it Round 3. It'll be more like Jenkins, where he will go to some Junior college (I heard he might not be eligible for an FCS school since it could be his third failed drug test) and dominate. Then he'll run a very good 40 and show good skills, which along with the tape at LSU and also the junior college will vault him towards the back end of the first and early 2nd. Considering CB is still a strength for us, I wouldn't pick him there either. IF he falls to the 3rd or below, then by all means, lets go for it.
He plays CB now, so to have him switch to a safety spot complicates things even further I believe. Especially since one of the knocks on him seem to be his tackling skills against larger players.
After rehab, he will enter the NFL Draft. By the time he gets out of rehab the college season would have already started.
Wow.... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/...ann-mathieu-arrested-for-marijuana-possession His career took a huge hit but at least he got away with a misdemeanor
Wow. Kid seemed to be doing all the right things by going into rehab, hooking up with John Lucas, taking classes, but obviously he can't stay away from the weed. He's had a really tough life, but it's no excuse. I don't think he's interested in more school and he'll probably just declare for the draft. He was already a big ? in the draft due to his size, but with this latest offense, it's going to be a reach for him to be drafted at all. Probably just get invited to a camp as a FA.
If we can snatch him in the later rounds (5th?) then I would love to get him. Hopefully he can turn around sooner than later.
