If this guy is basically a knucklehead now what makes you think once he gets a 7 figure check he's going to listen to / relate to guys that are 10+ yrs. older than him. D. Thomas did a fine job of allowing Santana to mentor him last year..... Character flaws are character flaws, you don't change a leopard's spots. You either accept the character flaw because of the exceptional talent or don't, you can't expect it to change.
I don't take the risk on him because his talent level isn't enough to justify the risk. Most scouts have this guy pegged as an RT or G, not a starting LT.
