NFL executive advised LSU wide receiver Malachi Dupre to return to LSU
Former LSU wide receiver Malachi Dupre would have benefited from an extra year in Baton Rogue, according to one NFL scout.
“I was asked by someone at the school about where he would be drafted if he came out and I told them on the third day,” the scout said. “I recommended he go back to school. His size is interesting but I don’t see a fast player.”

Dupre led LSU in receptions and receiving yards the past two seasons, although he was held under 700 yards both years.
