Per Twitter. How crazy/stupid/bad is our football program right now?
Wow, that means he turned 20 during the first semester of his senior year of high school. Don't get me wrong, I grew up in WV with people who drove in junior high, but that just makes finishing a four-year degree in only 3 1/2 even more impressive.McManus has his degree, a daughter, and is 24
Isn't he a senior anyways?
Either way, Mcmanus has a 0% chance of getting drafted. Mediocre, slow wide receivers in sh*tty conferences typically don't.
Slow? At 6'1" 220lb, 4.4 speed isn't that slow..... What player are you talking about? It would have helped to have had an offensive game plan that would have utilized his speed and a qb that could get him the ball. He was totally underutilized. If he shows any ability to run real routes, he will no doubt get a free agent opportunity.
He didn't go to MU right out of high school. He committed to WVU, went to an academy in Atlanta for a year, then to MU.Wow, that means he turned 20 during the first semester of his senior year of high school.

Saban said McManus would be a NFL Safety
Apparently he is too slow. No way he could be a safety.
That's what I mean though - his high school grades were so bad he had to spend a year at prep school, then after a year at the prep school he's still a non-qualifier. He comes to Marshall, though, and bangs out a four year degree in three and a half.McManus went to prep for a year, sat out a year as a prop, and then played 3 years, so he's already 5 years removed from HS.
Considering the fiasco of a season we just completed - this is a topic that should never have been started..lol..players going to the NFL when they can not compete at an elevated level even playing within CUSA...good lord.
Remedial Football i.e Football 100 should become a prerequisite class for all prior to beginning of next season - Coaches included.

Safeties don't need to have wide receiver speed.
Also if McManus is so fast why couldn't he get separation on.... any of our opponents this year? It's not like he was consistently getting open and chase wasn't hitting him.
When you are asked to only run 1 specific pass route continuously it becomes pretty difficult to get "open" and create "separation".
When you have an offensive scheme as predictable as we had, Randy Moss on the team would have been inconsequential.
Seriously. Have any of you actually played the game or at least watched the plays being called on offense?

Take what you will from that, but its definitely in the back of my mind when someone repeats that sanctimonious "doing things the right way" bullsh't.

yeah......because no one from a shitty team or league made it in the NFL.
40 catches, 450 yds, and 3 TDs in CUSA aint getting you drafted in the NFL
I've never suggested McManus would be drafted. In fact, I agree it's highly unlikely, unless he has a blowout combine.
However, the league is full of undrafted players who went on to productive careers. The patriots are an organization that built a football dynasty around players that most other teams considered shitty. I believe at least 3 players over the years didn't even play college football but made their roster and 2 of those were starters.
He won't get invited to the combine and he won't get drafted.
He'll get some invites for a Free Agent Tryout......I wish him the best of luck. He's certainly a weight room freak.
Clark is another matter.....I think it would be a major mistake on his part.

Didn't say that and as we all know it happens every year , the intent , the kid is not NFL material - maybe he has a good enough combine , maybe he has the right agent , but when the final cuts are made he will not be there. Huge difference between this kid and many that we sent ( at one time) to the NFL.
