Seems like a guy who made the best of his struggles.

Sounds like he had as much or more family as a lot of these guys, including some male-adult family.

Good for them (and him).

Easy to root for a person like him. Unfortunate about his Mom but his Grandma picked up hopefully TW continues to remember her encouraging words. "Patriots Way" will be a positive as well.

yeah, but can he play?

They always say that "heart" cannot be measured.

The fact that this kid has overcome so much, played 49/50 college games, been a captain, and made honorable mention big ten means a lot.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I'll admit that I would've picked someone else, but I am actually excited about the prospect of the pick nonetheless.

Indeed. I'll be rooting for him. I expect this guy is ready to work.

Yeah, I can't say I'm stoked with the pick but the more I read, I'm definitely opening up to what he can bring to the team. Talking to reporters after he was drafted, he mentioned he chose to play CB his senior year (after moving from CB to S) when given the choice because they had safeties coming back from injury but had a CB spot that needed filling. He did what he felt was best for the team. He also said he watched every minute of the combine he wasn't invited to as motivation to get better.

His effort IMO will never be questioned. Let's see what he can do.
