Paul, Thank you for all of the great memories. Once a Ute, always a Ute!

I hope you find your way to the top of the NFL just like you did in the NCAA, just don't forget that you still have a home at RES.

BEST OF LUCK!

You played us tough this year! All the best to you as you head to the NFL. I'm sure you will represent the Utes and Utah well.

Good luck to Kruger but normally the U players have no where near the success of Y players in the NFL especially in speed positions.

I'll refrain from the typical juvenile postings we usually see from the other side when a BYU player decides to turn pro and simple wish a neighbor, Paul, a very successful career in the NFL.

As an avid BYU fan, I will say it was fun watching you terrorize Alabama; not so much fun seeing you put the heat on Hall. You're one of the best defenders to play for Utah, ever.

Good luck at the next level.

Your leadership and passion for the game will be missed, I wish you the best in the next level. Anyone that has seen you play knows you will be great. It will be fun to follow another Ute's career in the NFL.

It will be nice to see Kruger play at the next level of football. Now that Kruger has declared himself professional he ought to sign with BYU.

Age a factor | 7:31 a.m. Jan. 12, 2009
If he's NFL material, he needed to do this because of his age. He'll be too old if he sticks around for two more years. But what is his NFL stock? What round?

I see Utah in a world of hurt for the next three years. I see BYU dominating the U for the next three years. Can you say, "we can"? I see dead people. I see dead Utes.

Good luck Paul. As a BYU fan I was not looking forward to your continued improvement over the next two years. You were a great player and should do well at the next level. This is what so many wish they could do.

Drive, desire, determination!

Why do always start the DN this way? BYU do not talk that way. You are so predictable! Stop pretending to be a BYU fan.

As a BYU Fan I have to admit that was pretty funny!

It will be nice to see Kruger terrorize the NFL quarterbacks next year instead of Hall.

Um, are you serious? Yeah, Utah doesn't ever churn out any "speed-position" All-pro running backs that own SuperBowl rings, too. Or receivers for that matter. Nope, probably a different Utah Utes... You should think before typing sometimes. Kruger - you'll be a beast in the NFL. The only reason I'm okay with letting you go is that I know we get to see your little brothers compete for the next few years on the Ute squad. Good luck at the next level, bud.
