Another interesting note from the DP Show today was that NFL teams really want to know one thing about Te'o: is he gay.
All he did was dominate football games for four years.
Touche
Between those two games, which one featured more pros?
We'll find out. Michigan put's a fair number of guys in the NFL. Particularly linemen who are supposed to be able to block a slow linebacker. I'm not convinced Te'o's a bust before he ever plays a down in the NFL. But he's costing himself tons of money. And all that means is there is a GM out there licking his chops hoping the guy drops to the third round.
I don't disagree that GM's hope they can get a bargain on him, but everything about his stock has been plummeting. No one is "licking their chops" about him. I would be more concerned about missing tackles in the championship game on Bama skill guys because they are pros.
I couldn't care less about the guy, but there's more to football than a 40. Were Tedy Bruschi and Zach Thomas fast? They may have been, I don't know, I just wouldn't count him out yet.
Tatupu and Henderson were 2nd rounders, Tulloch a 4th, and Burfict UFA. The slow 40 time means he'll have a hard time playing 3 downs if he can't cover... which isn't typical of a 1st round prospect. Pretty sure Burfict was hella out of shape for the combine too.
