Yup.. Even the prophet realizes that Hud will destroy his future career using him as a full back. The prophet has been a class act for Cajun Nation and he knows its time to get the hell out of dodge.

This season was a total train wreck, I can't blame him. I don't think he will be high enough of a draft to leave this year. I think and hope he returns.

No idea if he is motivated by this season's results, but I would imagine he would have done this either way? Why not? He is just testing the waters. This season may weigh into what he finally decides, but I would have been surprised if he didn't at least take this initial step, no matter how this season would have turned out.

True, same thing Shawn Long did before this season.

Let's be honest. He was never going to work his way into the first round of the draft. If he is given a grade of 3th round or better, that is where he'd have been if he has a great year next year. The NFL just doesn't value running backs. SO with that in mind why would he not bolt for the league? As a running back you have limited years in your body so why not maximize the years your body has to make money by leaving early.

Tinfoil hat time...you think he is trying to make a point to someone? More importantly...someone who used him incorrectly on purpose to prove a point of his own? He doesn't seem like the character kind of guy who just pouts and sits in the corner. Anyone with half a brain (makes me worry about Hud) could tell beyond the shadow of a doubt that Elijah was incredibly frustrated most of the season. In addition...most everyone with half a brain was questioning why he was used in such a way...KNOWING FULL GODDAMN WELL that was not his strong suit. Here is hoping this Elijah's way of holding up a big sign for Hud that says "stop being such a dumbass".

No doubt he was used in a role that wasn't his strong suit, but who else on this team could have filled that roll besides Nixon (who was trying to be a qb . Next year Nixon better be in the Alonzo roll.

He is projected as the 15th best RB in 2017 draft which was late 5th round in 2015
