3. Malone is ready to go pro
Reports have come out saying that junior wide receiver Josh Malone will go pro. He showed that he’s ready on Friday. The Nashville native already had a breakout season, and he saved his best for last. He’s made 12 catches 241 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games. His clutch touchdown in the fourth quarter on Friday might’ve been his best play of the year:

There’s an argument that he should come back. He might could work his way into early draft consideration with another huge year in 2017. But with quarterback uncertainty next season and an impressive year already on the books, it would be understandable if Malone goes ahead and tries his hand in the NFL. He’s shown that he is ready.
