Then he doesn’t have to say things about personality.

Why not? If the guys he’s talking to are relaying concerns about the personal makeup of the kid, why wouldn’t he? It’s clearly not a case of “one guy told me this one thing.” If the talk is a-flyin’, and Nawrocki’s hardly the only draft analyst who’s made mention of this, then the talk will get reported.

Seems to me Cam’s outsize celebrity is causing knee-jerks all over the place: people who want to hate on him are doubling up, and the people who want to rush to his defense no matter what are seeing shadows.

I’m sure not every scouting report says that a guy is a choir boy or demon

No, but again: if the issue is a topic of conversation amongst the folks who actually have a role in these decisions, it will definitely be in any scouting report.

This needs to end in every sport. Talking about yourself in the 3rd person has only been acceptable once and that was when Costanza was doing it.

But what about Jimmy?

I just hope ours is gone by then, above 0 today, which will help. Until it freezes again overnight.sugaring weather, and full on mud season at my house. Teens at night, hopefully 40 the next few days.

Bummer guys...

I can’t believe I’m defending him, because I wouldn’t use a top 5 pick on him.

We can cherry pick all day.

sure we can, and those who fail were head cases and those who succeed were just confident in their own ability.

How much access is there to the student athletic trainers and other staff. I remember at Pitt, they were all very coached to answer as few questions as possible, and never say anything negative. But I heard a lot of stories about Antonio Bryant that I could have written a (fairly accurate) version along the Nawrocki lines, and it would have been true, without me ever meeting him. I dated one of Larry Fitz’s trainers later on, and never heard anything but nice things about him and his work ethic etc. I don’t think second-hand information is to be entirely discounted.

I lived right under Fitz since were freshman the same year. He was about as nice as he comes off in interviews and stuff. I also heard tales of Bryant being an ass. Most of the players I knew were cool except Ray Kirkley who stole a DVD from my fraternity house during a party.

YOu could also argue that every single Heisman trophy winner is an icon.

Except white QB’s from Oklahoma and Florida. Those guys suck.

Like demanding that you would never play for a city, or what? I’m sure John Elway was humble til he got that fourth Super Bowl appearance.

how about jeff george? how’d his personality work out?

Ryan Leaf?

We can cherry pick all day.

Ladies and gentlemen, your unbiased comment of the day.

Uhh, I said for better or for worse. YOu could also argue that every single Heisman trophy winner is an icon. Now, the talking in 3rd person shit, that has to stop.
