Let me first say, I hope he does! But being honest, we as fans have a tendency to over rate our players. I think he is a good college player, nothing exceptional. I believe he was not a regular (projected) starter until last year (his Sr year) If you're unable to crack the starting lineup at Syracuse prior to that, the probability you play in the NFL is slim. **Edit - he started regularly his Jr year.

Somewhat related- I think our secondary is great and we likely have 3 guys (Cisco, Trill & Iffy) who play in some capacity at the next level. But I see posts here that have all 3 leaving early and going top 3 rounds. Doesn't it seem a little unrealistic that we have 3 of the top 100 NFL picks next season?

Another couple examples would be Steve Ishmael and AET. I thought they were surefire NFL players. I was wrong. It just goes to show how difficult it is to make it and stick in the NFL.

I hope we churn out NFL players every year, but we have produced very limited pros over the last decade, punters excluded. I find it hard to believe we have 4 starters on defense who will get drafted in 2021, and from this thread and others it seems like some posters really believe we will.
