Xavier Lee Going Pro?

Forgive me if I need a minute to pick myself off the floor from laughing. Xavier Lee, the oft troubled QB from Florida State, has decided to forgo his final year of eligibility from FSU.

No, he's not transferring. He's entering the NFL Draft. Why he made that decision is beyond me.

Actually, come to think of it, it's probably not that dumb a move. He was awful at FSU, wasn't the best person off the field, and was told he wasn't going to be playing QB for Florida State next season. However, he is an excellent athlete and some team might be dumb enough to take a flier on him in the draft.

What else does he have to lose really? He has zero shot of getting enough playing time to impress scouts next year, unless he were to take Jimbo Fisher's advice and switch to tight end. He also wouldn't get much publicity playing at a Division II school. He is probably at the peak of where NFL scouts might be interested in his athleticism, even though he had an awful season.

Anyway, no huge loss for the Seminoles there. Personally, I'll always remember him as the guy who fell apart in this year's game versus the Canes once Miami actually made an adjustment and started blitzing him. Without that, they don't win the game.

Hey aldo lay off the crack X-man set all the records in florida while in high school. This kid has the potential to be really good at the next level even though he was short-handed while attending florida state. If our coach would had started him as a freshman we would had won a championship that how good he is, but with little experience and a short rope you can not do much but hang yourself which they were expecting. You guys remember what I tell you he will be given an opportunity and will make the best of it. Expect great things from X-Lee! Seminoles->->-> The U loser. David.h 2
