Out of nowhere, LSU Tigers edge-rusher Danielle Hunter started getting projected as a 1st-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Then I watched him get stymied by Notre Dame left tackle Ronnie Stanley in the Music City Bowl. So then I thought, “I knew Stanley was good but I didn’t know he was that good.” because Hunter gave him no problems.

And after watching that game again and then some other games, I thought he should stay in school. But apparently, he still believes he has a 1st-round grade so he went ahead and declared for the 2015 NFL Draft. Yes, he’s a good athlete and has great length at 6’6″, 240 pounds but that doesn’t make him ready for the NFL.
