Joe Tryon is a cautionary tale on how shady agents can flash a little real money and ruin dreams

Tryon would be making millions and millions more balling out in this defense. What a waste. Everything he did prior was built up to this season, his break-out season, his ascension to UW stardrom. Now he fades away, never to be spoken of again. And for what?
Keeps the agents away.

But who knows where GMs are with this year. More than ever they're going to be drafting a lot more on potential vs. production, so I could easily see a team taking a flier on Tryon.
ZTF performance this year doesn't help his case either. I don't think Joe like school that much and going 3rd or 4th round is fine. Expectations won't be that he's a starter right away and he can keep working on his skills.
The same people talking about a Day 1 selection were sure Hunter Bryant was a Day 1 selection.
Maybe that says it all.
He's still going to get a good shot and a mid round pick. That's not bad and it's really an amazing thing for him to pull off without having much of a body of work to show.
I don't blame any of the players this year. Especially out west. They were probably convinced that there would be no season and signing with an agent early would build hype sooner ahead of the draft and get them access to bespoke draft preparation.
We complain about the coaches not recruiting well, with many contesting that it's just simple sales. Let's not forget that REAL professional salesmen, NFL agents, are selling the shit out of these guysm to come out for the draft.
Looking at last years NFL Draft Edge Guys from Power 5 schools generally went before the 4th round. Tryon's body of work is small but a lot of guys will only have really two seasons of being a starter on film so it's not a huge delta. He looks the part and if he runs well he's gonna like his paychecks next year.
Of course with ZTF performance this year it's like losing a HOT gf knowing her hot friend is interested in you.
I'd have regrets personally. Just about every NFL player says NFL teams have a brotherhood but it's not like HS or College Ball.
If he came back he would almost certainly be improving his draft position with this defense, or maybe he could have got injured or put up a few more clips of him running around the field with his eyes closed...
Hard to say given the pac12 and Larry Scott FS.
I was consistently right about salmon Ahmed and Hunter Bryant’s overhyped nfl prospects from a select group of retards here.
I have also consistently said that nfl GMs and scouts are underwear Olympic simps
He should sell out on the speed aspect, cut a bit of weight, and market himself as a fast, long, and young raw edge guy that could carry more weight in a few years as he gets older.
If he does that he will get <4th round
If he tries to bulk, the same type of stuff Ahmed and Bryant did, and runs poorly he’s fucked and will struggle to go before the 7th
Some coach will take a flyer on him but he won’t get the time, attention, and patience he could have got if he came back and played his way into a early 2nd.
Betting a lot on testing well
