Leaving early is not always a great idea. Just ask Godwin and Nauta. Don’t know who they talked to but bad advice! Win some lose some. Don’t get me wrong I was pulling for all of them. Congrats to all the other Dawgs who made it.

Who knows how it went down @BiggDawgg63 The young men made the decision on what they thought was best. I’m sure they had guidance and it’s a gamble either way. No matter what, you got to chase that kind of potential money when you have a legitimate chance of getting it
Um, Godwin graduated. He didn't get much choice in leaving.
And our ladies here don't know football.........Who said that???😂😂
My bad on Godwin. No reason to hurt my feelings though 😥 LOL
Honestly not a bad decision for any of them.
Nauta recieved pay for playing. He also was released and resigned fornthe practice team where he also gets paid. So technically he made it. 🤷🏾♂️
I’m sure they didn’t leave early to be signed on a practice squad. But hopefully they work hard enough to eventually make the 45 man roster.
I don't get leaving early unless you KNOW you are at least a first half of the draft pick. Like first 4 rounds. It's particularly embarrassing when you leave early, don't get drafted and then get cut as a UDFA. Sure, maybe a couple of these guys will make a practice squad and maybe a roster spot eventually....but I wonder if any of these guys wish they had stayed.
@PlayHurt & @pgjackson can anyone say they know these peoples personal lives, needs, goals, and dreams. Assuming most kids will take the risk to chase their dream of the NFL which he successfully did and is still in the NFL. There was nothing for him to accomplish. Its nice to think of it from a fans perspective but at the end of the day its a business from all parties (coach, university, to player).
@DvilleDawg ...
Nauta made the Lions practice squad where he will at minimum make $8000 a week according to the CBA.
The only reason I watched last nights game was because of Floyed & Smith. Other than that I just watch the Falcons.
I don't even do that. Once they go to the NFL they are kind of dead to me.
