It's Fools Gold to believe sitting out a "meaningless game" somehow protects you from injury. Ask Dez Bryant and all the other players who tore, pulled or broke something in PRACTICE!!!! WE'RE TALKIN BOUT PRACTICE!!

Statistically, injuries tend to be far more serious during live competition as opposed to practice.

“Compared to practice injuries, competition injuries were 30 percent more likely to result in the athlete missing three or more weeks of participation. This relationship was particularly strong in baseball, where competition injuries were 3.5 times more likely to require the athlete to miss three or more weeks of play.”

Just don't understand why some LSU & sports fans in general are so invested with Greedy and others playing in 2nd tier bowl games. Maybe because Greedy gives LSU the best chance of winning while still saying he's "selfish"

? Oh the irony! He's already helped LSU make millions. Now it's his turn.

Believe it or not, most NFL teams want healthy players coming out of college.

BTW, good luck to Greedy Williams and his entire family. He had a great college career. I wish him all the best at the next level.

You are foolish if you think one game would ruin his career. Name one player who didn’t sit out that got hurt in the bowl game

Which still got paid and drafted early!!!! In no way did his injury hamper his draft status. It does appear sitting is hurting greedy and Grier which I’m happy to see. And butt was hurt long before but kept playing. Big difference.

False. Had NOTHING to do with "sitting" out a bowl game. Not sure what scouting reports you subscribe to but Will Grier was NEVER projected to be a Day 1 (3-4 rd ) selection.

Every draft year is different. Greedy is sitting (he'll be off the board soon enough though) for the same reason Deebo Samuel, AJ Brown, Miles Sanders, Parris Campbell, Hakeem Butler etc ... Teams value DEFENSIVE LINE, OT & QB more than CB.

The 2019 draft has a ton of 1st round quality O and D lineman (see Clemson and Miss St players taken last night).

In a normal draft year, Deebo, AJ Brown & my man Greedy are gone by the end of the 1st round.

It is what it is. I'm not here to wish "bad" on quality players not getting drafted yet like Greedy W and Will G.

So he is still available. He shouldn't stay that long on the board thou I believe.

With that said, I'm actually quite pleased with the CBs we got. Lattimore is proven and Apple stadily got better after coming here in an inseason trade. He seems liked in the locker room and have all the talent needed. We might need some more depth but I don't think we should trade up to aquire that.
