ATHENS — Leonard Floyd may have been turning pro anyway, but the news on Sunday hastened his departure.
Floyd, a junior outside linebacker and NFL prospect, was in a car leaving the athletic building’s parking lot on Sunday night when he yelled this out:
“I’m gone too, by the way!”
Floyd also announced the news on his Twitter feed around the same time:
Floyd considered going pro after last season but opted to stick around. He said last week he was still undecided about going pro and would discuss the decision with his inner circle.
This season Floyd leads the Bulldogs with 4.5 sacks and is tied for the team lead with 10.5 tackles-for-loss.
