Jaylon Guilbeau Declares for NFL Draft

[CJ Vogel]

Texas CB Jaylon Guilbeau has posted his NFL Draft declaration and thank you to The University of Texas. 

Hoping for the best for Jaylon! He was one of my favorite recruits to follow and had a heck of a career.

Did he have any eligibility remaining?

No, but these declarations are guys basically announcing that they’re opting out of the bowl game to focus on the draft.

I didn’t realize he had no eligibility left, his career here felt kind of underwhelming, kind of reminds me of Anthony Cook maybe was maxed out in high school

Does he even get drafted with the lackluster year he had this season? 

[CJ Vogel]

A little throwback!

Opting out of a bowl game to focus on the draft seems so paradoxical to me.

i was wondering the same thing.  The coverage got better when he was benched, not a great thing on your resume.

Best wishes.

look at what happened to the ND linebacker.  Blew out his knee in a bowl game when he was going ot be a top 10-15 pick.  He still got drafted, but was never the same.  I doubt one more game of tape after you've been playing for 3+ years is going to make that big of a difference.

He was better at Star than Corner IMO.  

He did seem to drop off after year 2

Best wishes to Mr. Gilbeau!!!

Best wishes but I'm thinking UDFA.

I hope he balls out at the pro day and in private workouts. Not sure he gets a combine invite unless he has a great agent. 
 

Would love for him to make it in the league as a special teams ace.

Why? It’s common practice and no reason to risk any injury in a completely meaningless game.

hate to be that guy on a fellow 409 kid

 

 

but thank God

Here's his current ranking in the NFL Mock Draft Consensus - answer is 'not likely', though these mocks get more accurate the closer one gets to the draft
