Not only did he make bets with teammates, he apparently went through the motions in some games. The betting stuff isn't really a big deal but admitting to just going through the motions in some games will probably cost him some draft spots.
quote:
In his Combine media interview, LSU DE Sam Montgomery admitted to betting in college and taking games -- not plays -- games off when the Tigers faced lesser opponents.
Montgomery's agent should have advised him before the Combine that saying things like this is not smart. At all. "Some weeks when we didn’t have to play the harder teams, there were some times when effort was not needed," Montgomery said. "But when we had the big boys coming in, the ‘Bamas or the South Carolinas, I grabbed close to those guys and went all out." Montgomery detailed "hundreds of dollars" in bets with teammate Barkevious Mingo, including one for $5,000 on which LSU defensive end will be drafted higher. We'd wager -- heavily -- that it won't be Montgomery. Draft insider Tony Pauline reported late Saturday that LSU's coaching staff has been "slamming" Montgomery to NFL teams. Feb 23 - 10:36 PM

Wow..I have a feeling Bama had a lot of players take the ULM game off a few years back. Thank goodness NS has their attention now. Just lose one of those games now and the NC is no longer an option with one loss.

The only thing that makes Sam unique is that he admitted it. You are kidding yourself if you think all players play all out all the time. You think Bama players went all out during blow out games? If so, you are delusional.

It was pretty obvious during the season. He wasn't near the player he was last year.

Thanks for posting. I had not read this.

Draft stock will have zero effect...

Mingo took every game off.

Most of the defense mailed it in after the Bama game

Don't worry, memphisplaya told me that Mingo will run a 4.4 and Montgomery will run a 4.5. That'll increase their drafts stocks.

I've been waiting 2 years for this combine so I can call him out for being wrong.
