2013 NFL Draft Prospects

[CultBrennan59]

Last bit of Manti Te'o I want to bring up:

A) Where will he be drafted if this is a hoax which he made up?

B) Regardless of the answer to question A, would you draft Manti if he fell to us in the 2nd?

C) I think this commentor on profootballtalk.com's comment section said it best:

He has an easy out here folks: he’s going to claim to be gay and he made this girlfriend up to avoid being blackballed by the Heisman voters and NFL teams… that are clearly anti-gay.

He’ll become the ultimate victim having to make up something so outrageous because college and professional sports don’t accept gay players. He’ll get the support of the gay community and will be the first ever openly gay NFL player."

I suggested option c earlier in this thread as well. Even if he's not gay, his best move from a PR standpoint would be to say he is. Suddenly he'd go from being a liar to being a victim and a hero.

If he is not gay he should not cover up a lie with another lie. If he says he is gay and gets caught with a woman at any point in his career... I can only imagine what people would say, especially folks from the gay community.

Covering up a lie with an even bigger one, yeah not the best course of action.

Yeah, but that's how so many people get caught.

Claiming to be gay while not would be the worst career move he could make.

All the mormon churches in Hawaii say they have no records of Te'o or his family ever being in the mormon churches.... I'm joking just stirring the pot
