Just kidding... I shouldn't say that lol.

the guy did make it to the league FWIW so he probably is someone to listen to in regards to football career advice.In fact i would value his opinion on how to do so over 99.9% of the internet posters (with the fridgemover being in the other .1%.)

If we were talking about advice on how to better condition yourself, increase your chances of playing time, etc. then I would agree. But we're talking about decision-making, and he hasn't really done anything that proves he's capable of making good decisions.
 
For the record, this guy got cut from a team that was 0-16 an NFL all time worst.

So he made the league on athletic ability. That doesn't mean has has clue about the best path for anyone to the NFL.

Aycock's best path to the NFL wasn't at GT.

Playing is his best path the the NFL. The question is whether he has a better shot to see significant playing time at GT or at Auburn. We'll see. But my point is Dwight Smith has no idea.

Excellent point.

Dontae was one of 4 RB's signed last Wednesday by Auburn. Additionally, one of the two "athletes" signed has indicated he will start at TB first before deciding to whether or not to move to CB.

The majority of high school seniors don't consider the fact that they may not be the best back on the team. For most of these guys, and Dontae is no exception, they have been so head-and-shoulders above everyone else at every level they have ever played at that the concept of not being the best is fairly alien to them.

When I graduated from high school, I thought I was pretty dang smart. Then I got to Tech....

Even the people who's GPA says they are the smartest people at Tech feel that way. Tis the nature of the beast.
 
I felt I was a lot smarter than about 80% of the students at Tech, but less driven than about 60%, and the 20% that were smarter than me were a lot smarter.
