I certainly hope he stays to be sure! I just know how players like JJ Arrington and Patrick Laird put up massive numbers, but because he wasn't nationally-known didn't get drafted high and thus had no NFL career to speak of. Playing in the $EC, for better or worse, gets you that national exposure. Hopefully being in the ACC will elevate things, though!

Marshawn and Jahvid were both 1st round picks and Jaydn is much closer to their level than Patrick or even JJ. Cal had 11 1st round draft picks from 2000-2016 (our last first round pick), including #1 overall pick Jared Goff in 2016, so the idea that playing here would keep someone out of high-draft-pick potential just doesn't hold up.

JJ Arrington was a second round pick. Not a good example. Laird also had a better college career than Lasco and Muhammed but the latter two got drafted. It's not the exposure.
