You are correct, but its an NFL reg not an NCAA reg.

When CMC declared for the draft he forfeited any further amateur football eligibility, so the NCAA had no further control over his football status from that point on.

We had to go through the same thing with Shaq If I recall correctly, because Washington's on a quarterly schedule. But i think he was actually finishing up classes.

Samuel and Samuel. I want to see how this article begins to stack up.

"In Cooks' first three NFL seasons with the Saints, he's recorded 1,000-yard seasons. Now we're comparing Samuel to this rising star with an added "bigger, stronger, faster." That is just a scary and very exciting thought."

Holy crap, I literally got all giddy reading this!

He is a little different player than Cooks. His 3 cone drill time and 20 yd shuffle time are a little slower. So Cooks has a little more wiggle than Samuel. Samuel is a little more linear and much stronger based on tape. I know everyone is excited for Christian but I think Samuel could be just as electrifying. Just in a different way.

Heard the name before. What can you tell us about him?

He was the heart and soul of the ECU defense.  Smart kid, originally signed with Duke.

He's not the fastest LB in the world, but he can move... he is a big time run-stopper.

Bigger is a "holy crap" type guy when you see him getting off the bus.

Here are his tackle #'s by year:

2012: 18

2013: 77

2014: 140

2015: 98

Here is a highlight video... check out around the 41 second mark.  He's lined up at MLB.

I loved the quarter system when I was in college (though my college has since moved to semesters).

They try to explain semesters as "better for the student" and I couldn't disagree more.  Who its "better" for are the administration and the professors.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
