BUT, I then I started reading up on this guy and seems like the exact opposite of a BB type guy... Football is clearly not THAT important to him, not a "team first" player, effort is not always there. Hard to imagine he sticks around on Pats purely because of attitude.. unless he seriously changes his attitude.
Maybe I am wrong - apparently, he was kicked off the team by his first coaching staff, allowed back on the team by the new coach, only to be suspended again... Didnt put in any effort at combine etc... Just reaks of an absolute crap attitude, a guy that has skated through life because of god-given athleticism.
BB seems to prefer guys that might be a little less athletic but very coachable, responsible, care about football, work hard etc.. but hope I am wrong because this kid has serious talent.
I read that his 4.45 was considered 'lackadaisical' by people who knew him and basically that he should have run much higher but just didn't care. Wish I could run a 'lackadaisical' 4.45.
@BaconGrundleCandy What are his off the field issues?
So you're saying I shouldn't get attached to this guy.From what I can tell it's not criminal stuff, just arguing with coaches constantly, not respecting coaches authority etc.

That's kinda how I see it.This doesn't bother me. Either he'll shape up or he won't. I was more worried about criminality and drugs.
Out of Miami that could be chump change, depending on what he’s dealing.Wonder if this kid has another plan to earn $480,000 this year?
All this sounds right. However, the patriots have decided to give him a chance. We weren't forced to sign him.
I wish I could run a lackadaisical 44.5!
Not saying everyone needs to be perfect, but since the whole AH debacle (kind way of putting it, I suppose), seems like NE picks are often team captains and such. And I liked it.I am not confident in this kid's ability to pull his shiznit together.
