Stephon should have followed Melvin's lead and returned to school for his senior season in order to help his NFL draft stock.

Pretty sure his mom still works but I'd be calling it quits.

Sadly, it is said 80% of people do not recognize sarcasm.

In general. Based on a study performed by the APA. But I stated people and it is actually 80% of Americans.
