The WR's family however, had thought that he would be returning for his senior season at the #1 public school in the country to finish his degree, with his father stating "Education is the most important thing to our family. I really think he was leaning toward coming back to school," he said. "If he was going to go (to the) draft, he would have to be working out. He's been relaxed and hanging out with his partners." DeSean however, his known for his surprises. When deciding where to go to college in the first place, it was widely expected that the Long Beach Poly star would go to local USC.

Good luck in the NFL DeSean, we'll miss you in Berkeley.
