Is yearby in a camp

[Sandman211]

As Brock posted above, here's an article on him working out with the Skins. Hopefully it goes well for him.

Does he have an agent? From his IG stories he's just chillin. No shots of him working out, training, nothing. Guy is too talented to not be out there trying to make a squad. Hope the Redskins tryout works out for him.

I'm not so sure staying would've helped his stock. He'd still be a small RB who runs a 5.9 forty. Another year wasn't going to change that.

He left because he wont get burn here thats why.....why r people complaining he left too early. If he stayed he wouldnt play either....i just dont get why people r confused about this.

He left because his ego wouldn't allow him to accept that he's not as good as Dalvin Cook or Mark Walton.

He made a terrible decision for himself, and this team. Would have been nice to have Yearby and Homer as back-ups to Walton. That's quality depth, IMO.

Instead, we have 3 unknowns behind the starter.

WTF does Cook have to do with anything?

In the end, we lost out in not having him for depth but he's doing as well as he would have next year. ****, he might have gotten hurt if he'd stayed, so from his perspective leaving now might have been the smart(ish) choice.

Doesn't he have a kid with another on the way ? I thought that's why he left .

How did leaving early help him with that?

How was staying going to help him?

At least he could say he was on a team

And that's worth what?

He wanted to try to make in in the NFL and staying wasn't going to help him do that.

Those practice squad paychecks aren't too bad if I'm being honest. Probably better than anything he would have gotten right out of school with his degree with a shot at the league. He didn't come back and risk a career ending injury in college without getting an opportunity in the league. At least now if he gets hurt it was chasing the dream.

1 year of college will always be attainable but a shot at the NFL isn't. With him already being small and slow, anything slowing him down would have ended it

 

[RiDLer80]

Playing Gus over Yearby was a dumb football decision. Yearby, even with his slow long speed was a much better running back than Edwards.

Still, staying another year playing behind Walton wouldn't have improved Yearby's speed or improved his draft stock.

Agree. He was what he was, a solid college RB with elite vision/feet but limited physical ability. He would have been the #2 back here this year, anyone saying otherwise is being crazy.

Probably should have stayed and got his degree (unless he got it already), wish him the best in the future.

 

[Rellyrell]

I'm rooting hard for Joe. If he can have a Ronnie Harmon type of career...a 3rd down specialist, he'll be just fine. He's def not an every down back, but on 3rd downs and you need a be coming out the back field, Joe is your guy. Hopefully he gets a crack.

I thought he was with the Eagles ?

Canadian field to big for his lack of speed. He be good in Arena League. I think he should join Military and finish his degree

Yearby and Cook played high school ball together. There have ALWAYS been comparisons between to the 2.

I'm of the opinion Yearby believes he's every bit as good as Cook. He probably believes he would have done the same things at FSU if they switched positions. So, in his mind .... He has top draft pick talent, even if the tape doesn't show it. That's what Cook has to do with it.

And speaking of injuries ... Yearby would have been 1 Walton injury away from being the starter. But that doesn't matter any more than your "he might have gotten hurt if he stayed" argument. None of these athletes are thinking about getting injured. That's a hindsight, or fan perspective. These guys all believe they are invincible.

The only reason guys should ever leave early is if they are going to get drafted, AND can't better their draft position. Or, if they have eligibility issues. Outside of that, stay in school ... Finish your degree ... Help your team.

Yearby probably would have made more money with his UM football stipend than he's making on NFL tryouts.

NFL Draft 2017: What's the difference between an undrafted free agent and a rookie minicamp tryout? | NJ.com

"The guy who's coming in on a tryout means that everyone had a chance to draft him and they passed," the agent said. "And then everyone would have had a chance to sign him to a free-agent contract and they passed. So it's that next level. Usually they'll sign a couple of guys."


Of course, there are some financial differences. There's a modest amount of guaranteed money invested in an undrafted free agent, while a tryout player isn't guaranteed anything.

"The main difference is if you're an undrafted free agent, you sign your contract immediately," the agent said. "If you're getting invited for a tryout, you're not signing a contract. You're basically going out there with a two- or thee-day tryout and then they decide out of this pool of 15 or 20 guys they brought in, 'OK, we're going to sign this one or that one.' Then at that point, (tryout players) sign their contract as an undrafted free agent."

I think it would have helped his stock because NFL people would give him credit for decision-making and being a good teammate.

I think you know, better than most, that Yearby left for selfish, ego-centered reasons. And in the NFL, they arent dealing with that unless you are a star! Or, at least, have star potential.

So, while I agree his "measurables" would not have improved ... I think his "intangibles" would have benefited from him returning. And I know our running back depth would have improved.

For all the knocks on his physical talent to make an NFL roster, the kid was a quality college back. And as a number 2 back, would have been significantly above average, IMO.

But he's not on a roster ... He's getting a tryout. Nothing guaranteed about that.

Y'all keep rooting for Joe!

And I'm guessing yall will be rooting for Gus, too, right?

He'll find a practice squad

You could ask that about pretty much anyone. Not many players change that much physically from junior to senior year. I think that there's more that goes into drafting/signing a player than his 40 time.

I don't know anything about Joe's attitude or his relationship with Rick or Rick's staff. But I've seen guys leave early who don't get good reviews from the coaches of the team they left. And if they're borderline draftable/signable, then teams stay away from them. You can certainly work on that attitude and maturity and approach during your senior season. That's something you can improve dramatically.

Take a look at Last Chance U. There were a couple guys on there with great ability who ****ed off their coaches and wound up with no D1 offers despite having D1 ability.
