Junior Seau remake!!

His status just dropped in the draft to late first round - questionable makeup, assertiveness and running that slow on turface? Not good!

He lost 10lbs so he could increase speed. Sounds like he got AJ hawk disease. Bet he passed the drug test now.

I watched the Ala. game..

if that is what he has for the "Big Boys" it ain't much.

Manti Te'o underwhelms at Combine


http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Manti-Teo-finally-gets-chance-to-focus-on-football-022513

we need to be fair about the reporting of the ability of these players..

just like players before this young man...the hype they get in college does not always transend to the Pro level.


we only need look back to the unfair expectations of Tim Tebow to grasp that some of the players just aren't that talented.

it's real life..

not every supposed all neighborhood superstar has the real talent to take that next step.

Speed.......ya got any..

tick tock tick tock, NO JOHN HARBAUGH don't look!

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

Thank god he has an education to fall back on. Hopefully, he can find a team that doesn't need it's linebackers to run 40 yards downfield like the Ravens.

But according to T'eo he was running 4.5-4.6 in workouts :facepalm:

Perhaps he'll do that at his campus workouts and the equip manager can move the cones up slightly for him. 4.8 isn't bad, but he has to be agile and if you watched him closely in the Bama game, he was a step slower than he was for the most part the whole year, something ain't right with this kid. He can make up for lack of speed with instincts and agility. He'll still be a first rounder, also when you watch execs, scouts, coaches watching players in the combine, they often times will show emotion to throw off the other people which can move that players stock up or down. Ravens definitely won't take Teo, if he's still on the board then when they pick, I think they go DB or WR.

he also once had a girl(boy)friend in cali

Any sentence that starts with, "according to T'eo" is suspect.

i thought he handled that optional presser at the combine very well.....took all the questions and did a much better job than i expected him to.....apparently,that wasn`t good enough...now they`re intimating that the guy`s gay.....

he f`ed up...still,i`m starting to root for the guy....i hope he has a decent nfl career...

 

[deadeye]

career

career

they'll find out quickly if he's got it or not simple as that hope the kid makes it but the one game i watched i didn't even know he was playing would he have even started for bama?

Smaller, slower and less explosive than expected. Will be tougher to overlook his difficulty with telling the truth

 

[gardenweasel]

he`s not straight fast but he looked pretty quick in the drills....he moves his feet...

guy`s got good football instincts....i believe he falls out of the first and somebody gets a solid lb in the second..... but..........

i`m not buyin` the harbaugh look for a second...if he`s there at 32,i wouldn`t be shocked to see the ravens nab him...we`re used to having an albatross or two on the team....
