Mkristo Bruce

[PATRIOTS-80]

DE | Height: 6-6 | Weight: 260

He's from Wazzu and this guy has unbelievable heart. I will go as far out on a limb as to tell you guys he has Teddy Bruschi heart. He is just freakin' relentless. He once got injured on a play (high ankle sprain I believe) in the backfield. The RB of UCLA broke free and was running down the field. Bruce (despite being really injured) ran/hobbled down the field and caught the RB 30 some yards down the field. After making the tackle, and he keeled over and was done for the day. Go watch the UCLA -- WSU game this year if you have it. I told somebody that, "that play epitomizes his heart." If I had one word to describe him it would be, enforcer. He plays with a mean streak. Does he have enough speed to make it out in coverage, I'm not sure. But if he can run a good combine time, BB might take a late day 2 flyer on him.

I saw him in the USC game and he did some good things. I think he runs a little faster than 5.0, more like 4.8-4.9 range.

NFLDraftScout has him as a 7th round/FA.

From scouts inc/ espn.com:
" Bruce will get selected no higher than the fifth round and could slip to the final couple rounds depending on pre-draft workouts"

Basically, they say his faults are that he plays to high & lacks a second gear (I have to summarize as it is a premium service). A great college player who might not transition to the pros.

DE/OLB tweeners like him can fall all the way to the 7th round. If so, BB might take a flyer on him.

How do you pronounce his name? Because right now I'm pronouncing it "Muh-kristo" and that doesn't feel right.

Actually, that is how you pronounce it. You don't spend a lot of time on the "Muh" part though. The "to" part sounds like "tow" and that is where the emphasis is.

"Muh"-"chris"-"tow"

Muh-kristo is not how you pronounce his name. I don't know where you got your source but I am a childhood friend and his name is pronounced "Em-chris-tow" (like saying the letter M, then kristo). That's it, thanks!!
