I think his lack of certain abilities got massively exposed this past season. Jared Verse requiring so much attention allowed Payton to look far better than he actually is in my opinion. He's a good player so don't think I'm crapping on him because I'm not, but I find it hard to believe that neither Payton or Marvin Jones Jr are going to get better coaching than they'll get here at FSU. Also as a grown man who played sports at a high level during my school days I think Payton's a little bit embarrassed or possibly ashamed of how far short of the expectations FSU and himself as well performed this year and he doesn't want to be asked about it all spring and summer long so it's more comfortable to start over elsewhere. As for Jones Jr. I believe the pressure put on him because of who his dad is and his legacy at FSU might feel like for him expected to match his dad has made playing football at Florida State more stressful than enjoyable and fun like it should be. Patrick Payton needs to swallow his pride and bust his ass to become the player we all know that he can be and do exactly what Jared Verse, Jermaine Johnson ll and Keir Thomas came to FSU did and be a important player in turning the program around again!!! I wish this generation of athletes were more like my generation mentally by accepting the challenge and not running away to find an easy street path to success!! I know that doesn't apply to every athlete currently but it definitely applies to the majority of them!! That's why Jared Verse, Jammie Robinson, Johnny Wilson, Trey Benson, Jordan Travis, etc. will be celebrated by our fan base forever!!
Oh wow I did not realize MJJ entered the portal but to each his own. He is not the player his dad was sadly but he will be successful somewhere and I wish him the best of luck.
@richardbrookins5406 I do as well. It's got to be difficult to live up to the lofty expectations of the fan base that also watched your father's amazing career
@@tgctv7387 We don't need to be in the locker room to know that somebody who does not give a crap is a crappy player and person. You will tell 0.01 % of a person's character from their words. You will tell 99.9 % of a person's character from their actions. Pat Payton, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Jesus Saves.
So good to hear we needed the extra roster spot. If he went to the NFL draft he probable wouldn't be drafted. He was a cancer and underachieved after fleecing us in the NIL.
Payton did not play hard this year very soft ass play same with farmer and everybody else on in the front 7 we need some changes it wasn’t just the coaches
Jared verse made Payton who he was when he played at FSU taking up double teams. Payton would never get home. He was always being stopped and knocking down balls. That's not what great pass rushers. Do they get home and set the edge. wish him the best probably going to Miami
He probably requested a "raise" and they waved him goodbye. He is not a good example anyway, and the new coaches were most likely not interested in having him around. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way.
Concentrate on the guys that want to be a NOLE! Not going to waste anymore time on guys that don't want to be apart of something GREAT!!!! No love lost here!!!!
I was expecting him to come back as his output was not very good, and I would assume he had a chance to grow for his last year and attempt to increase NFL stock. I don't see him starting for a top 25 blue chip program.
He did not have the season he expected. I think he got frustrated. He is better off trying to get a fresh start. Not sure why anyone would draft him at this point. Good luck. FSU will need bigger DEs in the 3-5.
2025 isn’t feeling great but I’m riding with my Noles no matter what!! However .. next year is gonna be the year Norvell ( HEAD COACH ) needs to VASTLY improve on the HORRIFIC SEASON!! PS .. I’d trade problems with OSU fans “ANY DAY” buckeyes crying over 1-2 loss seasons ..
This is addition by subtraction imo. Sometimes you have to prune the hedges so they can flourish. I agree that he had become complacent. Time to move on.
Let him go. I am tired of him threatening to leave. Well just friggin go already. He can be replaced. And he could not go in the NFL draft because he is not good enough and I think he found out.
He benefited from playing with Verse, Fiske, and Farmer
He balled out before fiske got there
@@backinthedade1204 not like he did in 23
Thanks for opening up a roster spot
Now FSU can get another loser from a program that didn't have a winning record.
Exactly who I wanted in the transfer portal,good luck young man. Thanks for the open spot
His lack of effort is alarming glad he's moving on
I figured many folks would bring that point up
That's why he drop in the draft and he wanna play one more season

Payton and Farmer need to go they were the bad apples in the locker room last year
Cause you were in the locker room?
@tgctv7387 I'm from Jax and really close to a few players from the area sir. But this is probably a woman bc you're emotional off of a TH-cam comment
@@letsgetitthen4507just seen this. If this is true ✌🏾
I know he used a racial comment calling another FSU player a "White Cracker". Payton is a bigot! Glad the cancer is GONE!!!!

Getting that salary off the books
PP was trash and acted like he was good. He benefitted from Verse and Fiske's dominance last year and held FSU hostage in the spring. GTFO
2-10, and he played like it!
Jared verse made Payton who he was when he played at FSU taking up double teams. Payton would never get home. He was always being stopped and knocking down balls. That's not what great pass rushers. Do they get home and set the edge. wish him the best probably going to Miami
Miami would be interesting
@@LO_Seminoles Well he just might fit there. Candy cane, candy aZZ, he will be in his element. Thinking of himself more highly then he ought.
Wow the game video don’t lie … GOOD LUCK Payton wherever you go…GO NOLES!!!!!
He probably requested a "raise" and they waved him goodbye. He is not a good example anyway, and the new coaches were most likely not interested in having him around. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way.
I knew he was gone, really don’t care, I think he realized no team was drafting him! Bye!
Concentrate on the guys that want to be a NOLE! Not going to waste anymore time on guys that don't want to be apart of something GREAT!!!! No love lost here!!!!
Lol. The only reason anybody wants to be a Nole, or a Bulldog, or a Hurricane, or an anything else is NIL. There is no school loyalty anymore.
He's doing what every player will do jump in and try to come back for more money. College Football is ruined forever. Go Noles!!!
Let him go I don’t want anyone on our squad that doesn’t want to play,practice hard
I don’t know who was going to draft him.
Payton All-American you must be joking!
I was expecting him to come back as his output was not very good, and I would assume he had a chance to grow for his last year and attempt to increase NFL stock. I don't see him starting for a top 25 blue chip program.
I thought he was going to the NFL but like you I think his grade came back lower than expected and didn’t want to deal with the new defensive scheme.
Yeah go to the NFL then those NFL scouts will look at film of him standing around during the play and not even putting any effort.
I really don't think the NFL interest was there. He definitely didn't play up to his potential
Is his regression from last year an indictment on him, or the coaching? I lean toward the former
Last year, Payton only had a few flashes and that was with Verse and Fiske causing havoc. He didn't shine at all this season. Bye Bye
Good luck.
👋
He did not have the season he expected. I think he got frustrated. He is better off trying to get a fresh start. Not sure why anyone would draft him at this point. Good luck. FSU will need bigger DEs in the 3-5.
✌🏾
He is killing his draft, if he does not go to a 2 win playoff team it's a bad move...
I almost forgot Patrick Payton was on this team. Another player with so much potential, that didn't get developed. SMH
He had one good game last year thats it .
He got the NIL money and didn’t play hard at all so bye
I think he was leaving through the portal the whole time!
2025 isn’t feeling great but I’m riding with my Noles no matter what!! However .. next year is gonna be the year Norvell ( HEAD COACH ) needs to VASTLY improve on the HORRIFIC SEASON!!
PS .. I’d trade problems with OSU fans “ANY DAY” buckeyes crying over 1-2 loss seasons ..
Thank you! Wish him well he wasnt the right fit for FSU
Not a shocker probably best for him and FSU to part ways. I don’t see him fitting in with the scheme.
Good, take his sorry ass elsewhere
No one is drafted the guy with half ass effort made by verse
Hopefully they told him to walk because he was awful
No team wants a player who "takes plays off"
Things happen,.money out there. What would you do ?
He can follow Jones. They both not fast enough to get to the QB and easily got pushed around by bigger players. Lazy!
Just by the way he walked around and arched his arse way out he wanted money for more than just his play
This is addition by subtraction imo. Sometimes you have to prune the hedges so they can flourish. I agree that he had become complacent. Time to move on.
I thought he would stay and get better.
At FSU? He left to get better.
What did he do all season absolutely nothing and demanded more money before the season started get to stepping
Wish him the best, but I’m glad he is leaving.
He gave up on plays
I thought draft
He plays like he doesn’t like football
Let him go. I am tired of him threatening to leave. Well just friggin go already. He can be replaced. And he could not go in the NFL draft because he is not good enough and I think he found out.
BYE 👋🏽
Glad that he's moving on. His production & efforts suck.
Like I told you 2 weeks ago, we need to move on from P. Payton, he's in NO WAY, shape or form like J. Williams whatever 🤷🏽♂️
Good luck brother…… I wish you would have stayed and improved your game….but…….🤷🏽♂️
He left so he could improve his game.
I thought he would enter the draft ??
Lack of effort always over pursuing and guys running by him
Dude been trash since verse and Fisk left ..to be real he also rode Jermaine Johnson and kier Thomas coat tail too
LSU
Thank heavens. This guy is a bum and will never play on Sundays.
He played soft this year
No argument
He not good enough for pro.
Agreed
Mid
Good riddance. Dude moved like he was wearing lead shoes.
✌🏽
