Overall
Arden Key is a high potential guy with major character issues. He had an excellent freshman year at LSU, but quit the team his sophomore season and returned his junior year. So far, he hasn’t shown much this year. NFL teams may love his potential but his effort doesn’t always seem to be there. If he doesn’t start playing better it could really hurt his draft grade. He is currently looking like a 3rd or 4th round pick.
