Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd doesn’t sound like a quarterback that is seriously considering bolting early for the NFL draft. Boyd confirmed he has submitted paper work to the NFL to get a projection on where he might go in the April draft, but said he isn’t going to spend any time thinking about the decision until after the bowl game.
Tigers offensive coordinator Chad Morris also doesn’t sound like a coach expecting to lose his two year starter at quarterback after the bowl game. He is of the opinion Boyd’s best NFL prospects could be further down the road than the upcoming April draft and his opinion will count when Boyd starts pondering his future.
“I think he’s a first-round guy, I don’t know if it’s this year,” Morris said. I think it’d be next year,” “I think he could definitely improve his draft stock. Those are things he’s got to talk to his family about, that he and I will talk about, and I think he and I have an unbelievable relationship and my opinion would matter to him.”
Boyd had a record-setting season at Clemson this season and was named the ACC Player of the Year. He also earned first team All-America honors.
Meanwhile, Clemson went through another bowl practice Thursday. Heavy rain forced them to move things inside to the new indoor practice facility. After the workout Boyd and Tigers Morris shared their thoughts about the upcoming matchup with LSU and how the practices have gone thus far. If you are so inclined you should take a listen below.

Clowney hopes he stays. Increasing the sack record will help him with the Heisman race.
Well, it seems this show has “mis-led” the masses again, all the while playing to the Clemson followers that they have a quarterback, that could remotely MAKE it into the NFL this year. (I’m going to put good money he won’t get in NEXT year, though, I’m sure your show, all the while pandering to the Clemson loyal, will talk his abilities up, up, up, way past actuality, reality, and beyond wildest dreams!! Won’t matter to y’all what his abilities really are, it just matters what you can make people feel. Sounds like Obama, except with sports….
Again, you’ve let at lease me, down. I don’t look for feel good stuff, but facts.
The guy can’t make it to the NFL after THIS season?!?!? What do you think he’ll look like next year with at least some chances he may play a real football team in his conference? He’s going to look a lot like he will late in the evening 12-31-12…. pretty sad. If he can’t get in on his ABILITY or his numbers now, with this past season, he won’t get in….
