One play and Spikes is dirty? Nah. He's been a team leader and the best player on Florida's defense. He's a prototype 4-3 MLB. And he passed up NFL millions last season to come back to school and earn a degree and try to win another title. He's no Laron Landry, trust me.

I love that no one talks about how Spikes had his face clawed and helmet ripped off prior to the eye gouge incident. Not saying it's an excuse, but everyone wants to pigeon-hole him as dirty. He made a mistake, but he's not a dirty football player.

Yes, one play and he is dirty, given the play. That was ghastly. I can barely watch the replay.

No excuse for the play in question, but to label him as a dirty player overall for one incident is just dumb.

Kiper and McShay both agreed that that one play will have zero effect on his draft status.
