Darvin’s dilemma illustrates need for change

Auburn's leading receiver for the past two seasons, Darvin Adams was shut out of the NFL draft

May 1, 2011 — What would former Auburn wide receiver Darvin Adams do differently if he knew in January what he knows today?

Adams, who completed his junior season at Auburn with a national championship on January 10, announced a week after the title game that he would forgo his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

Adams had two solid seasons for Auburn, leading the Tigers in receiving in 2009 with 997 yards and again in  2010 with 963.  Four times in 2010 he cracked the 100-yard mark including a 217-yard performance in the SEC Championship game against South Carolina.

If you listen really closely right now you can hear the squealing. “What about Arkansas’ offense,” it goes. “We don’t just have Mallett, Joe Adams, Greg Childs, Jarius Wright and Michael Smith. We can score too!”
