Long gone.

Those of you saying he only has 1 year of tape are so misinformed it's not even funny.

Rico Gathers was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 6th round of the 2016 NFL draft. He had not played a snap of organized football since MIDDLE SCHOOL. Let me say that again. He did not play football in High School. He did not play football at Baylor. He last played football when he was 13 years old, decided he wanted to play football in the NFL, went to Baylor's pro day, and was drafted.

I'm not sure how many times I need to say it until people listen, but the NFL does not care in the least bit what you did in college. Richards has far and away enough tape to get drafted. Not remotely an issue. If he wants to come out, and I suspect he will because kids at Miami are completely brainless when it comes to these decisions, he can easily get drafted partly on his college tape and mainly depending on how he tests.

That's all the NFL cares about. Size, speed, strength. Not only do you not have to be a good football player, you don't even have to be a football player. I have a sinking feeling we've all watched Ahmmon Richards play his last game as a Cane, and if so, I'm not sure I can remember more disappointing careers after what that kid did as a freshman.

Rico Gathers got drafted because of his athletic ability. He didn’t play football because he was playing basketball.

It’s hilarious how you criticize everyone else, yet try to draw a comparison between Rico Gathers. Big difference between a guy playing another sport and richards, who has barely played over two seasons because of injuries. Great condescending post though.
 
My sauces sent me video of OP starting this thread

We could really use this guy, makes a huge difference to this offense.
 


Gotta show the GOAT RichtEra some love for this highlight from a couple years back.

They're idiots and are only saying he won't be drafted bc of a self fulfilling fallacy..
 
1.) Richards would 1000% get drafted if he were to never play another down. It would be late, but he would definitely get drafted.
2.) The kid is hurt, really hurt. You all will see soon enough.

This is the exception not the rule. There are always anomolies and outliers. Problem is when people use that exception to justify a decision such as the one being discussed.

And Ahmmon Richards will be drafted due to his athletic ability. And I'm fully aware he played basketball, but you did zero to dispel my thought, which is it doesn't matter how much football you play. Richards won't come out because he only played 1 year? This dude played none years and was drafted. Again, it doesn't matter. I expect him to leave and I expect him to be drafted because he does have some tape and he's going to test very well. Similarly I expect Travis Homer to be drafted higher than what you'd think his production would dictate because he'll test well. They don't care how good you are in college. I can't stress this enough. The NFL thinks they can teach you to be a good player, they can't teach you to be a 6'2 200lb WR who runs a sub 4.4 40. Ahmmon reminds me a lot of Chris Godwin....I think they'll put up similar combine numbers and somewhere in the 3rd round is where I expect Richards to go, just like Godwin.

Rico Gathers is amongst the long line of B-Ball players that convert to football ala Eric Swoope it's not that big of a deal. Actually more impressed with Swoope he wasn't that good a basketball player Rico Gathers could was pretty good b-ball player

Yeah, Swoope is another one. I'm not comparing these kids to Richards, just pointing out how silly it is to think Richards wouldn't come out just because he's only got 1 year of tape. That literally couldn't be more insignificant. How many years of tape did Mitchell Trubisky have?

That's a ridiculous thought. Stacey Coley stayed and had a good Sr. season (2 good years and was drafted in 7th rd. really low and is currently on his second team. Richards might turn pro he would be wise to get more film in today's game there's a lot of 6'2 fast WR's he is something special here in the NFL he's just another 6'2 WR that can run don't be fooled the film is what places you ahead of the next 6'2 WR in the country with NFL dreams.
 
Richards would get drafted.

But ask yourselves this - is he significantly better than Stacey Coley?
Coley got drafted in the 7th round. IMO, their skillsets are similar.

Their “issues” are also very similar.
 
These a press conference this morning. Surely this topic will come up.

Anyone have a live stream?

Stacy Coley didn't have near the measurables that Richards will. Again, no one cares about what Stacy Coley did here, just like they don't (& won't) care what Richards did. Coley dropped to the 7th round because he didn't test very well. He ran 4.45, which is pretty good and IIRC about 10th of the WRs, but he measured barely 6 feet, 195 pounds, his jumps were middle of the pack and his shuttle was awful. He was one of the lowest on the bench as well. So he's small, weak, straight line fast but not quick and not explosive. Add that up, it's a 7th round pick who has struggled to play at all in the league.

Ahmmon will test much better than that in pretty much every category.
 
Here come the idiots shouting from mom’s basement that he will definitely get drafted.

So what? The idea isn’t to leave early to get drafted; the idea behind leaving early is that your draft status is 1st or 2nd round and you won’t improve that status by going back to college for another year. That’s clearly (to anyone with an IQ over 68) not the case with Richards.

Somehow, the “go get your $40k signing bonus!!!” idiots who follow this program and think every player should leave early have bastardized the entire early entry process to become a matter of merely being picked somewhere in rounds 5 through 7.

If I nodded my head in agreement to this any more than I am right now then people would think I'm having a seizure.

We're about 2 mins away from some clowns around here claiming that being signed as an UFA and getting invited to ANY training camp is always preferable than returning to school.

Coley came up big in key games. Richards hasn’t done much in those games.
