It was worse than that. He played poorly, then he got hurt, then he was beaten out by a true frosh. I feel bad for him. Whoever was advising him did him a grave disservice.
I don't know about that. KJ will have the memories of knocking off defending national champion LSU Tigers for life - and he undoubtedly was the talk of the college football world for that first weekend. Would he have had a better experience standing on the sidelines for 6 games (and no bowl) at Stanford?
As far as pro chances go, there is no difference.
With Mills out with the COVID clusterfark, he’d have started against Oregon, and may have started against Colorado, given Mills had a limited practice time.

LSU was not very good this year. But sure he had one game. I don’t think his expectation was to go to MSU. Have one great game, stink out the joint from that game forward, get hurt, lose his job to a Freshman and not see much more time. Who said his only other option was to stay at Stanford? I’m guessing he had other opportunities. (I wonder if Iowa was interested. Stanley graduated. Their QB coming in was not good. It’s a similar style to Stanford. With a strong o-line. That would have been a great fit).
And I disagree - I think he hurt his draft position. He certainly didnt help it. Although I’m not sure it was particularly strong to begin with.
