Manti Te’o 40: 4.81 at the Combine. Also, Mike Florio Said Teams Want to Know if “Manti Te’o is gay”
Manti Te’o just ran the 40 at the NFL Combine: 4.81. Mike Mayock of the NFL Network had said all weekend that Te’o's 40 time had to be under 4.8 for him to remain in the first round. (It should be noted Peter King said he’d be surprised if Te’o fell below Cincinnati at 21.) Te’o will run another 40 and could possibly improve his time. He didn’t do the bench press. I don’t want to say his stock is cratering, but between the fake girlfriend, the horrible showing in the BCS title game and everything else … my guess today is he’ll fall into the 2nd round.
Kevin Minter, an inside linebacker from LSU, ran a 4.82. Minter, who had one of the best halves of football last Fall (see here) could be the 2nd inside LB taken before Te’o (the first being Alec Ogletree, assuming he doesn’t get arrested again).

This morning on the Dan Patrick show, Mike Florio said that teams still want to know if Manti Te’o is gay (3:52).

4.81? Woof.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:49 PM
He may not be gay, but I bet he’d hold one in his mouth till the swelling went down.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:49 PM
Not blazing. This time, coupled with everything else, could drop him into the
2nd6th round.Fixed for natty champ performance and extreme accuracy

Seeing Ted Thompson in the video gave me a chill of fear worrying that he’ll be wanting to replace AJ Hawk with another slow linebacker
February 25th, 2013 at 1:52 PM
He’s a really bright kid (insert fake GF joke here) so I bet he wows teams in the interview board. I still bet he’s taken in the late first round.
/if ATL takes him I’ll murder someone
February 25th, 2013 at 1:52 PM
Uh huh, sure Mike, “teams” want to know if he is gay, the same way “my friend” was wondering if you had any weed.

Tried to bet fifty he’d fall out of the second round after the BCS game and before we all knew he was spending hours having phone sex with a crazy gay dude.

JESUS!!!!!!!!!!! You almost caused a heart attack. This is the organization that drafted Jamaal Anderson and Peria Jerry. Also gave nice free agent money to Dunta Robinson and Ray Edwards. But surely, even they couldn’t possibly draft this guy. Right?
February 25th, 2013 at 2:00 PM

“Te’o was a very impressie individual with an accomplished college career. We’d have no reservations drafting him.”
- 32 GM’s that will let him drop to the 6th round.
February 25th, 2013 at 2:00 PM
They’ll take the ND TE or some shit like that. MOntgomery might be there, but when you publicly admit you sandbag it that scares me.

February 25th, 2013 at 2:10 PM
Ogletree ran a 4.62. Dude is an athletic freak, but dammit he seems like a dumbass. Half the time I think I wouldn’t want him near my team, but the other half marvels at how badass he could be.

I think it’s time to draft a talented “character issue” kid that falls in the draft. Michael Vick’s dead dogs are a distant memory by now.
February 25th, 2013 at 2:13 PM
Damn. Washington just ran a 4.50. Some team is going to take him in the 2nd round and never get shit out of him. No player frustrated UGA fans more than Washington. INSANE athletic ability, but no production.
February 25th, 2013 at 2:13 PM
te’o improved to 4.80. first round back in play
February 25th, 2013 at 2:13 PM
We really need CSI:Miami emoji.
February 25th, 2013 at 2:13 PM
Not sure who will fall that low, yet be worth it. ‘Tree will be gone. Not sure there are any others who are at risk of falling due to character who would otherwise be top-15 worthy.
February 25th, 2013 at 2:15 PM
meanwhile, john simon, a dude who’ll probably put up insane numbers, has on-tape production that is even better, never took a play off for OSU in the four years i watched him and was, by all accounts, an absolute stand up guy/leader, will probably be a 4th rounder AT BEST. because a 6’2″ 265 lb DE that runs a 4.6 is a tweener(?)?

with the new rookie contract regs, does this matter like it used to? his talent should rise to the top eventually no? then he earns the dough with his second deal
February 25th, 2013 at 2:17 PM
You love you some Simon. I haven’t seen him play so I can’t comment, but production almost always wins for me. Like, I don’t care what Jarvis Jones runs (assuming he will at the pro day). Just watch him destroy people and get after it and you know he’s legit.

Someone is going to take Rex Burkhead in the 4th round or wherever and get a total badass who will be one of the best 3rd-down backs in football. Dude can do it all, and is willing to put his body on the line in pass pro. But because he ran a bad 40 his stock will plummet.

and he’s DEFINITELY got the production. had something like 14.5 sacks and a shitload of TFL’s…his highlights against wisconsin were snuff film-y.
