If he has a good combine and was on my radar id still draft him. He was a good football player through this all.

Yeah but if you're going to invest millions and a high pick in someone, you want to make sure all your bases are covered on and off the field.

If it was a legal issue it would worry more because that could lead to a loss of playing time obviously. If he produces on the field i really dont care what he does in his spare time - as long as its legal and he is on time. Lol.

I knew you didn't go to far Vinny.

Just look at our locker room now vs the past and tell me character doesn't matter. If anything our locker room shows character and hard work can account for more than just raw ability. And look at teams like Pittsburgh, you so much as fart in front of the wrong people and your done. This is going to hurt his draft stock either way, wether he is the most guliable person on earth or just another lying physopath. Such a crazy ass story either way, can't wait to find out what the hell really went down.

Pittsburgh is an interesting example. Roethlisberger has had his problems which all come down to poor off-field decision making (carelessly riding a motorcycle, having public sex with an underage passed out woman) and Harrison is headcase with serious attitude problems that constantly hurt the team. Yet, they play well together. Yeah, character definitely matters, but there are a lot of guys who we wouldn't call "good" who can work well with a team, and from everything we've seen with Teo, he is a team leader and a team player. I'd love his stock to fall far enough for the Skins to pick him up.

It must be killing the condom business. Lol.
