NFL need guys that can tackle. Best of luck to Izien. Thank you
Could he have came back ? Big loss . He’s a stud . One of my favorite and best players during these bad times.
Good luck Christian !
Good luck Christian !
Kid was just a ball player.. Nothing more to be said.
Christian, best of luck to you! You’ll be deeply missed..

He had one more year left of eligibility.
2018 - redshirt
2019 - one year gone
2020 - didn't count
2021 - two years gone
2022 - three years gone
2023 - could've been his last
He'll be the same height next year. Highly productive & healthy career.
Just needs to show good 40 speed on proday.
He's already been in college 5 years. Not everyone needs to be in college into their 30s. Time to move on and get ready for the pros.
He was excellent this season. Would have gotten all conference looks if he was on a better team.
"Hi Mr. Izien, I'm Bill. You may be familiar with Rutgers players doing well at the Patriots. . . . "
In fairness, Ash and Bill Busch took a chance on a 2-star prospect with no other P5 Offers. He was pretty much a star from his freshman year in 2019.

His commitment thread was mostly positive, but a few boobirds:
***Christian Izien commits to Rutgers***

Interesting what Kessawn Abraham told Izien about Rutgers--I believe in giving credit where credit is due--while Ash bombed overall, he did some things right, and he did not leave an empty cupboard (except at OL):
“I’ve talked to Kessawn about Rutgers. He's told me things like how the school is very committed to getting you there, especially once they offer you. Also, the staff and players are always in contact with each other. I plan on taking my official visit to Rutgers sometime after the season is over.”

A fair point, but who had him for the last 3 seasons?
True, but he was destined to be a star and an NFL prospect. He arguably had one of his best season freshman year. Not taking anything away from anyone. Glad he came to Rutgers.
BOOM!
This is how I would look at it if I was his parent. Is he graduating with his Rutgers degree? If yes, you declare- nothing more to gain and only something bad could happen.
Kid has had a hell of a college career- he isn’t going to be able to show anything next year that he hasn’t already shown.
Sign with that agent, bust your ass for the next couple of months and even if it is as a UFA- take your shot now. Worst thing that can happen, you start your real post football career a year earlier. On the other hand- make a team and get an extra year of NFL earnings.
Going to miss him though!!!!
Did Belechick tell him he'd be signed as an UDFA if he didn't get drafted?
