And LSU fans can also say the exact same thing from from that remarkable game 2 seasons ago. And maybe someone would like to chat with Saban about Groves and the definition of disruption in the back field.
I am HUGE Groves fan. Whoever scouted him and said he is slow off the line is either a terrible scout or only watched those games in which Groves played with dislocated toes.
As for the bowl game, I thought he did quite well considering he was half OLB half DE. I do not think Groves played badly at all, but I do think he was out of position and very uncomfortable.
All that being said however, heart value surgery takes Groves off my 1st round list completely. If he is there in the second, I would be cautionsly delighted.
