He doesn't want to endanger that big Free Agent contract He's about to earn.
He's definitely going in the first few rounds.
Definitely? First few= 1-3?
Yes. No one will combine anywhere near him which is all that matters.
Remember how Snoop didn't try in college and was always hurt, but got drafted way high and is still in the league? Same thing.
Stewart ran for 1700 plus yards and over 6 yards a carry as a junior. He was a superstar coming off his best year with a 5 star recruit pedigree. He was also a junior with about half the carries on his body as the senior Freeman and a year younger.
Freeman regressed from his junior to senior years, hell he had the lowest YPC of his career as a senior. He's also not much of a receiver at a time when the value of backs who can catch is at an all time high.
I think the third round is his ceiling unless he completely destroys the combine.
He's probably a 4th or 5th round guy.
