    "I just told my coaches," an emotional Slaton said. "This is hard for me. But my coaches that knew me best have left. And now it's time for me to leave."

    Slaton said he was projected by the NFL advisory committee as a second-round pick.

    "Some guys think I'm a step slow," Slaton said. "So I have to show at the combine that I'm not."



    Time for Devine baby.

    I had figured he'd be 50-50 to declare. With Rich leaving, it was almost a no brainer.

    He was leaning towards declaring, then staying, and now he's declaring? Yeesh.

    Since stupidity was invented, this could be the #1 overall pick.

    Its a huge mistake on his part! He has fallen behind a ton of RB's and in big games he either gets hurt or never shows up.

    He needed to go back to school and show more.

    agreed. He had a very subpar year (first year the offense was more about White than about him) and with the emergence of Mendenhall,Davis,Stewart,Rice,and Jones in his class (as well as Johnson,Hart, and Choice of the seniors) Slaton will fall.

    Problem is, he's not even the best RB on his college team anymore and maybe not a better RB than his QB either. I find it funny that he said he got a 2nd round grade. When did Wanny get on the draft advisory board?

    It is but to him, with his fave coach gone, he doesn't want to stick around.
