This deadline is for underclassman.BeastmodeAg said:
Looks like today is the day we possibly know if Ainias will be declaring for the draft. If he chooses to declare is there a way for him to delay the announcement? Or would his name appear somewhere online?
Fingers crossed he stays for selfish reasons.
How so?NoahAg said:
He'll make more money by staying.

NIL > Late round draft pick
Do you think maybe you have some players mixed up here?McInnis80 said:
I would love to see both of the guys come back for another year. Sub Zero can rehab the injury and have a big year with Conner and see his draft stock go up.
Annias has ham strung by the offensive and the lack of good short yardage back. His performance against LSU was huge, because the Tigers were not able to load up the box. The League has no respect for running backs on draft day, but his speed makes him special. I would love to see him skip spring practice and just work on track.
Of course they're not, it's probably closer to taking a couple of zero's off...12thMan9 said:How do you know?Dr Lane Trowlan said:12thMan9 said:How so?NoahAg said:

Rookie base salary minimum is $700K in 2022.
I'll go out on a limb & say NOBODY at Texas A&M, in ANY sport, is getting that amount of money.
Does anyone even know what the AVERAGE NIL deal is? Look it up.

NFL doesn't pay if you go undrafted. He may get a FA tryout but I'd be really surprised if he was drafted.12thMan9 said:How so?NoahAg said:

I agree. This is a case of a player that's really hard not to like and seeing him through maroon tinted glasses. I doubt Ainias has any football left after college.NoahAg said:NFL doesn't pay if you go undrafted.

I like the guy but he missed most of 2022 and doesn't exactly have elite game film. Not sure if he could impress enough at pro day/combine to get picked.
I like him a lot as a college player, but I agree that if we are realistic about him then he may have a limited NFL career. He doesn't have any elite measurables. I personally think he's a plus route runner and has pretty good footwork with the ball in his hands. He probably won't blow the doors off in a 40, he's a smaller guy, has decent hands.SinKiller said:I agree.

Seems people disagree w/some of the "assessments" here.TX_Aggie37 said:I like him a lot as a college player, but I agree that if we are realistic about him then he may have a limited NFL career.

I think a lot of things have to go right for him in terms of system for him to end up being a true impact every down slot guy in the NFL. I think his ceiling is Jamison Crowder who in all honesty has put together a more than adequate NFL career. He might be a good return man.
Would be great to have him back in the locker room for 2023.
Quote:
Wydermyer had a consistently productive college career in Texas where he put up good numbers and looks to be an excellent receiving tight end, especially over the middle on intermediate routes. He however is not a polished blocker, and does lack a little speed to be considered a high pick - is like a poor man's Kyle Pitts.
He still is likely to have a good NFL career and put up decent numbers as a mid-range threat and a red-zone specialist. He likely will squeeze into the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft

Obviously because he's a good college player.12thMan9 said:
Then why does everyone want him back in CS?

The League has no respect for running backs on draft day, but his speed makes him special. I would love to see him skip spring practice and just work on track.

inexcusable that we suspended him that many games for wearing arm sleeves
