"The issue with him is effort," the scout said. "When he plays hard, he's one of the most dominant guys in the game. The problem is he might only show up for 10 of 65 plays, and this is a guy who's looking for big money. I know he was looking for a trade, and he had to stay there because he got franchised, and I don't know if he's shut it down in some ways because of that, but it's an issue. It's never physical. It's always mental with him, and about how much effort he'll exert. You always wonder if you're not having the season you want, if he'll go and shut it down a little.
"It's always a question of what plays he shows up on, and how many big plays he's actually making when he does. He's not a big hustle guy."
