STLsteel- I think that Rolle next to a legend like Polamolu would be dynamic!

Hopefully the kid doesn’t get a concussion and lose his smarts
That really would be awful.

PhillyBen – Check your sarcasm detector, I think (hope) he was joking. Then again, this is PFT comments so anything is possible.
If he really loved football he would have said “I want to play as long as possible”.

This is the type of guy you root for… But NFL teams aren’t drafting doctors… He looks like a mid-round pick to me

I knew Myron in high school when he went to the Hun School of Princeton and there couldn’t be a nicer kid.
It is stupid of NFL teams to penalize a player who WAS a 1st round pick if he would have entered the draft after his junior season at FSU, now people are saying 4th rounder???
Mark my words, late 2nd to early 3rd he is too complete of an athlete, player, and person to pass up on.
And @NightTrainNeckTie, just so you know he played running back in high school and was filthy!!!

Stick to football kid, nobody needs doctors. Where the hell is Rhodes University? Is that SEC or ACC? And for God’s sake why would you choose neurosurgery? Do you honestly think you’ll need to know anything about brain injuries for your life after football?
-Your as ignorant as anyone I know and if I were you I’d find an encyclopedia ASAP…..there is no Rhodes University, a Rhodes Scholar is someone who has been offered to study at Oxford University (the Harvard of Europe).
-Why doesn’t the world need doctors again? I’ve just wasted my breath responding to you, but I figured it just had to be done.

Alright I think a bunch of teams just put him back on their draft board. NFL GMs want to know how long he will play and now they have an answer. He’s not a bad player, either

Hopefully the Leos take a flyer on this guy in one of the middle rounds
1. Rolle plays defense and the Lions D is terrible
2. Rolle is wicked smart and he could play for years opposite Delmas

I’m glad to see Myron Rolle getting more attention. To me, any NFL team would want him because of his intelligence. I’m not saying you reach for him in the 1st round, but I believe if anyone will have a strong work ethic, and dedication to his craft, it would be him.

I just hope Al Davis doesn’t end up with this guy. Being around Al Davis would cost him I.Q. points. He would be an idiot by the time he left there.

I see him as a Steeler and being their 3rd round pick. He’ll be perfect Ryan Clark’s replacement.

“You don’t draft for need”
If you’ve got a very athletic rhode scholar who played 3 years at a big time program like FSU sitting on the board in the 4th. You take him no questions asked.
He can play safety, linebacker, special teams and maybe even runningback, that’s right I said runningback.

“whoop dee doo. 4th rounder at best, he is routinely beat deep despite good measureables. ”
He was not routinely beat that. You made that up.

Nice post MDS,
I could tell this wasn’t a Florio story without reading the by line just based on the lack of negativity.

How can anyone NOT root for this guy? I’m not a ‘Noles fan, but I’ll support any Rhodes Scholar that helps break down stereotypes of the “dumb jock.”
Best of luck, Myron.

It’s going to be embarrassing when a kid like that ends up on a team like the Bengals with some of the dumbest people imaginable.

whoop dee doo. 4th rounder at best, he is routinely beat deep despite good measureables. maybe he runs a fast 40 and scoots up in the draft for that reason but looks like a marginal pro prospect. OTOH, 11 years as a NFL backup is not a bad living!
