That's not going to help his draft stock...

 

Really sucks. Kid worked hard to get where he is. He's since thrown away the opportunity for a quality education, and now potentially an NFL career.

Not helping that already weak draft status.....

When are these "kids" going to learn?  How hard is it to simply call a cab, or a sober friend.  :(

Come on Latham, gotta be better than that...which leads me to think the coaching staff was probably not too upset to see him move on from the football program.

It does suck, but the knocks on him are that he really didn't work very hard, just coasted on talent, and his off the field decision making was problematic. You can take that for what its worth, I've never seen specifics. He'll probably still get a free agent shot somewhere, but he better keep his nose clean.

Probably better off without him.  What a waste.

Actually he can easily finish his degree because of the Student Bill of Rights thing.

It is sad though.

Yeah, don't think he was going to be drafted anyway. This probably just killed any chance he had of playing in the NFL

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,829]

NFL doesn't care much about this stuff really. They pretend to care but talent trumps character more often than not. (Granted, I think that is slowly changing due to the TMZ like exposure of things).

If Latham was talented enough to play ball, he still would. Just not sure he's good enough. We'll find out soon.

Wasn't he Antonio Allen's roommate who just happened to know nothing about Allen's side business?

[Crimson and Cream 5,707]

Idiot. If you're going to throw away your chance at the NFL you would have been better suited to stay in school and earn your degree. Might have taken a while I guess.

Ouch. Wish these guys would understand it's not worth the risk, and the consequences of their actions.  Hope he learns and grows from this.
