Wade to return

The guy's a warrior out there.
I have to hand it to him. I didn't think he was the guy, but he was a difference maker second half of the season.
I don't think that tweet has anything to do with him declaring/coming back.
I was confused as well. I take this (I'm baac)....as in he is back to the player he knew he could be.
Similar in stature to one of my favorite Lions ever.

If that’s all it is he still deserves congratulations. He worked his butt off to get there, something many highly ranked kids wouldn’t do.
Wade made a lot of good, solid tackles this season. He was always around the ball at the end of a play. He gets to the ball quicker than any defensive player, not named Micah.
That said, I miss the days of the "ball-hawking" safeties. He and the other DB's were exposed on numerous pass plays.

I'm am happy for Lamont Wade either way. If he decides to try the NFL, then good for him and I wish him the best. I can understand his frustration from a position change. But he accepted it, came back out of the transfer portal, and made the best of it. So the guy showed his loyalty and his character. If he decides to stay another year, then I am selfishly happy. Like someone mentioned above, about half-way thru the season you could literally see his "light bulb" go off and he was playing at a much faster speed. The last 5-6 games of the year, he was arguably our 2nd best player on defense (Parsons #1).
I can not think of his name, but who Wade reminds me of is a Safety who played at Iowa about 10-20 years ago. He was originally from Erie, played at Iowa and I believe mostly with the Colts in the NFL. This guy was about 5'9"/5'10", but was a ball hawk and made up for his lack of size with just always being around the ball.

Yup. Bob Sanders was a little "thicker" than Wade on his build. But add about 5-10lbs on Wade's frame, and he is Bob Sanders part II
If Wade comes back I expect Brisker to be that ball hawking safety next year. You can bring Wade up to the line in run support and play him on a slot receiver. Having Brisker roaming free will make a huge difference and as a JC player Brisker had a lot of INTs. Taylor was good the last two years, but never elite. I think a pairing of Wade and Brisker for a year has the potential to be awesome.
I agree. I think a full off-season for Briskar will do wonders for his game. Briskar "flashed". At times he showed great potential. But other times he looked a little confused and was often a step slow because of over-thinking. I think once Briskar gets the defense down and he plays without thinking, he could be very good.
This one sounds like he’s back.
Is it me, or does just seem like yesterday he made that cool commitment video driving off at the end? Crazy how time is flying and that he will be a senior in a few months.
