Teo reminds me of a poor mans AJ Hawk. He’ll be somewhat solid, overpaid, never make impact plays, and play for about 10 years at a level that’s just high enough to keep him on the roster.

More worried about his actual ability than his pre-draft interviews.

That’s saying something.

I don’t see the big deal regarding what he did in a football perspective. If he lies about a girlfriend, it’s not a crime. He doesn’t go to jail, and he doesn’t get suspended. However, if someone fails drug tests, gets DUI’s, or is caught with PED’s, it seems as though people don’t care as much. Leave the guy alone. Let’s judge him on his play. The only people that should be getting this type of criticism that he got are the Olec Ogletree’s of this draft class….

People can’t get caught up with all these 40 times and who jumps the highest, as a Eagle fan, one name comes to mind, Mike Mamula! The king of the combine! He was so good there that we traded up to take him over Warren Sapp, how did that turn out? Teo, can play! Doesn’t matter what his 40 time is, and you can forget that last ge he played, you can’t judge a player off of one game, overall, the guy was a Heisman finalist for a reason

I watched a part of his Q/A and T’eo is one cool customer and handles the media very well.

Having said, I also conclude that he is one BeeEsser Extraordinaire.

We’ve seen what you asked Bryant. What have you got up your sleeve for Mantis, Jeff Ireland?

This guy was the leader of a top defense that had to pick up the slack for a young QB and offense all year long. Te’o had an incredible career, besides all the BS at the end.

He didn’t have 7 interceptions and finish 2nd in the Heisman because he was an ‘average’ player. He had a phenomenal year and some team is going to end up getting a damn good football player.

I would be concerned he’d keep biting on play action.

Even though the media did NOT have to prove that he knew about his fake girlfriend. Double standard.

Yorklitoris1, what you are missing is psychological issues that could get worse. It’s all ridiculous what he did. Normal thinking people don’t do what he did. You want to spend millions on this guy? Maybe that’s why you are not a GM.

It’s a silly head-line: He was the leader in more ways than one on an undefeated team from one of the most prestigious programs in college football history.

Alec Ogletree gets a DUI and no one cares… where is his press conference? Te’o has a fake girlfriend, and he has to convince everyone that he’s not a horrible person. Am I missing something here?

Bama made him look as stupid on the field as super prankster renniah tuiosasopo did off the field.

Mike Florio (from previous post): “With all due respect to Bill Polian, running 40 yards in a straight line in underwear doesn’t really tell anyone much about what a football player can do under ordinary football circumstances.”

Darin Gantt: “His 40-yard dash will be important, as a time in the 4.6-second range will make a lot of doubts go away. Run in the 4.8s, and there will be legitimate concerns about his ability to play in coverage.”

A little bit of PFT-on-PFT crime? Which one is it?

Te’o's career is over.
Somewhere along the line, Te’o decided he wanted to be a celebrity instead of a professional football player.
Wish granted.
Te’o is now a cross between Tim Tebow and a Kardashian.
Career over.

Call me crazy, but I don’t care if Te’o has fake girlfriends. The guy was one of the best college players last year and has NFL skills.

” Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o is going to get a chance to do something much harder than holding a press conference.”

Tell the truth?
