Dunleavy: The advice Leonte Carroo gave Janarion Grant on staying at Rutgers vs. entering NFL Draft
- Thread starter brodo
- Start date
"I told Janarion, he's mature. He's definitely ready to go..regardless of what happens on draft day, if you get drafted or you don't get drafted, a guy with your ability is going to make a NFL team"
The only thing LC really told him is to make the decision for himself.hard to argue with that.
By the way I didn't realize that Grant was tied for the NCAA record most career total return touchdowns (8). Heck that alone, for me, would be enough of a reason to come back.
He didn't leave early.
Probably guessed the tremendous quarterback play we would get this year.
The same QB who threw him passes for 39 Receptions/809 yards and 10 TDs, nearly matching his output in 2014, while missing several games due to suspension?
But go on with your narrative.
I hope he has smart people assisting him. He has to look at a couple of things:
- how deep the draft is for WRs and where he stands compared to them
- how does he compare to the aging veteran receivers that potentially can be cut and free agents (ie. Cruz of the Giants)
These 2 groups are his competition. If the vets take a lot of jobs then there are fewer positions for rookies and journeyman receivers. He also will be competing with a few Rutgers WRs that don't have long term deals. it looks like Brandon Coleman will be a free agent after this year and will be an experienced guy competing with grant for a job.

He's going to be viewed as a special teamer at the next level. There's honestly not much for him to prove in that area.
He might want to stay another year to prove he's recovered from injury, but that's a double-edged sword.

alledgedly he has a child and may be feeling the pressure to look for money to support his family now..
Does he have his degree? I understand the desire to go get paid to support ones family, but counting on the NFL to make that happen is kind of a gamble without a b plan.
Should have kept it wrapped up. Now he has another consideration to further complicate the decision.

Facts are irrelevant.
Best thing to do is a Brian Leonard style - come back and get insurance.
If he's projected to be a 6th or 7th round pick what kind of insurance can he get? Its 50/50 those guys even make a roster.
RR had a very good shot at breaking the NCAA career rushing record and didnt stay.
This. He won't be drafted as a return man.
Better to build his stock a WR next year and improve his draft ability in '18.
I think his best shot will be as a free agent for special teams. Tough decision on staying or going, but the lousy season we had and the questions for next year's performance have to make this difficult. That said, I just don't get all these players who show absolutely no intelligence on getting someone pregnant with the protection available.
You should give him a "like". It's the same thing as saying "this". :)
Apparently it wasn't enough to catch more than a few passes for almost no yardage this season. I hope the Dolphins don't cut him in trading camp next season.
Great college player but will he hang on in the NFL ?
His Rutgers stats mean nothing now for him.
family = money; nfl = money, unless he comes from a well to do family who will assist him and his family for a year he has to go
Why the hatred toward Carroo? He was one of the best players we ever had at Rutgers. He could've went to Michigan or Miami but chose to stay home.
For some reason this board tends to do this. Anyone not named Brian Leonard has been criticized in some form or fashion.
He made 1.3 million this year. The GM should be fired if you cut your 3rd round pick after 1 year.
$400,000 base salary and $700,000 signing bonus, that is why he left and of course his eligibility was up :)
Janarion will get a lot of looks after the impact Tyreek Hill has had for KC
Grant is quick but not fast. I don't think he will run a 4.5 40. Hill ran a 4.24.
