Here are a couple links as to what I was talking about with Hicks. and again, I am pulling for this guy, but I'm going on what I know about him so far:
Akiem Hicks, Regina, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com
DT Akiem Hicks Scouting Report | Buffalo Bills Draft
It seems that some scouts have different views as to where the character concerns come from, but they agree that he seems to get frustrated and not play hard through the whistle if he isn't successful just mauling the guy in front of him. And that's a potential problem considering he was going up against nobody. If he keeps his motor running, he'll be alright.
Its kind of hard to play thru the whistle when you have the guy wrapped up on the ground on top of him already before the whistle blows. Unless you want him to be another Suh.
