FIRST he said he looked at the Depth Chart. UGA is stacked at RB while LSU is very down and will have a spot for him to be one of two next year.

SECOND his dad made this statement:

"You have a great kid, with great accolades, you contribute to your community by bringing them great football, and you go home, and guess what? You're taken care of for the rest of your life. You know? After you graduate with your degree, and somebody'll go 'You're John Emery! You went to Destrehan and LSU! Of course I've got a job for him!' You know? That's life after football. That's what I try to explain to a lot of people, there's life after this. A lot of coaches will call me and tell me, 'I can see your son rushing for this, rushing for that.' I said, 'No, I can see my son walking away with a great degree from your institution and getting a great job in a great city. That's what the ultimate picture was. How can he contribute back to his community and to himself and help himself out in the long run."

The NFL issue is a wash. Being on either team will get plenty looks from NFL, even if you warm the bench a lot.
