...and there you have it. The reason why he's been a huge bust. Admire him for being honest about it.
He's been a bust because he can't compete at this level. What school did he come out of? And he doesn't have the mentality/attitude to dominate in the pros.

Not everyone agrees with you.

Giants Aaron Curry is ready to show he's an elite linebacker | NJ.com

Ken Norton Jr. and new Giants linebacker Aaron Curry exchange text messages to this day. It was Norton, Curry says, who taught him the life lessons that set him on a path to reclaim his once "can’t-miss" career.
Norton, a former standout linebacker with the Cowboys and 49ers, came to the Seahawks as a position coach in Curry’s second season. By then, Curry said he was self-absorbed in his fame and fortune as the fourth pick overall in 2009, having signed a six-year, $60 million contract with $34 million guaranteed.
Immediately inserted as the starting strongside linebacker, Curry admitted he would pout if he didn’t like a defensive call. His checkbook took precedence over his playbook, he remembered, and his needs and wants superseded those of the Seahawks.
"Coach Norton was just honest with me," Curry said. "He would never let me slide on anything. He was harsh but I knew it was because he cared. He tried to get me to the point where I understood there was a certain way to be an NFL linebacker. It took some time."
Norton is old-school. He adheres to the lofty linebacker standards set by the likes of Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, Mike Singletary and Junior Seau. He pushed Curry to the limit.

Legal issues for New York Jets' Mike Goodson predate drug, weapons charges - ESPN New York

Six kids by several different women. This guy is apparently trying to compete with Antonio Cromartie for fathering the most kids. He's halfway there.... /facepalm

He can compete at this level, the question is does he have the maturity and dedication to do so.

Travis Henry has Cromartie beat with 9 kids by 9 different women. Something not to be proud off.
