I know Chubb and Michel are basically gone, but what about guys like IMac, Carter, Bellamy, Sanders, etc.

Have any of them given any indications to which way they're leaning?

I know it's selfish, but I feel Michel would be better served staying for his last year.

He'd be the 1st team running back, could put up better numbers with a hopefully improved O-Line and better QB play, and would be given time to work on the skills scouts look for in an NFL RB.

If those defensive players are content with being a 4th round selection, then let them go. Next man up.

McKenzie won't get drafted if he leaves, so I can't possibly imagine him going early. I think Bellamy and Carter will be far better served staying another year. Not sure about Sanders. I think he will be a late pick/undrafted regardless of when he goes.

Bellamy is gone no matter what.

Bellamy sounds like he's leaving if you listen to his mom on social media. Carter seems like the kinda guy who would probably leave early despite he definitely shouldn't.

Sanders doesn't strike me as the type to leave. Imac would be a fool to leave.

His production has sucked but he will test off the charts in combines.

If you could design an NFL outside linebacker body-wise, you would make something that looked like Lorenzo Carter.

Imac will stay, and we will have to suffer through his rumored transfer somewhere around March.

Michel would definitely benefit greatly from staying another year. He wouldn't get drafted as a feature back, and NFL teams are going to waste a high (top 3 rounds) pick on what is essentially a third down back. I think that is what he projects as currently.

I read earlier this season that NC is probably going to be a 2nd round pick. There's no one else on this team worthy of that. But some will leave.

It's all about getting to the League these days. The years of 4 year starters who are NFL Caliber are over.


I think we can safely say Goodbye to Michel, Chubb, Carter, Bellamy, and Sanders.

Honestly, I don't blame them. They are one injury away from missing payday, especially Sony and Nick and I think they can all be successful in the NFL.

If any of them stay I will be very surprised.

Sony probably should return with guys like Fournette, Cook, Freeman, Perine, Chubb and McCaffery being draft eligible. Next yrs RB draft class might be the strongest ever, Michel would be a 3rd day selection at best and might even go undrafted. I think the 2nd half of the season Carter upped his stock so I would be surprised if he returned, Bellamy looks to be good and gone and I think Sanders will return after getting his draft grade from the advisory board.

His production has actually greatly improved the past 5-6 games in my opinion. I really think his problem might have been more about the coaches not sure how to use him than anything. It takes time for coaches to learn the strengths and weaknesses of some players.

He has been putting more and more pressure on QB's, though, and that, sometimes is as important as actually getting the sack. Although his sacks have gone up recently, too.

Exactly this. They can stay and play for an education, or they can go pro and hope to make a couple of million dollars and be set for life. (If they manage their money right...which most do not)

I would be surprised if Sanders got drafted. His film this year won't show a whole lot of good. He should 100% stay.

Michel and Chubb will go. I think Bellamy and Carter could gain a lot by staying but would understand if they left.

That's actually a very good point.

Not sure I agree with this, though. he has speed, size and already catches the ball well...maybe better than any of the other backs listed. But he will probably drop down to the 3rd or 4th round.

Carter and Bellamy will both leave

Michel and Chubb will both leave

Sanders is too small/unathletic to play NFL Ball

iMac? Why is he even being discussed? No way

Bellamy is already a 4th yr player. If he doesn't have his diploma by now, he wouldnt be very bright.

He put in his 4 years. He isn't focused on the draft. He is focused on earning money (like most students after 4 years).

Carter is the 2nd coming of Corn Washington. Terrific athlete and no production
