That's what one source says, but others aren't saying anything about what happened at LSU, so that is up in the air as far as what character problems he may have. But it's the lack of hustle that bothers me.

Its not up in the air... that is the reason he wasn't allowed to play at LSU.

Yes that is the reason he was ineligible at LSU, I know this very well.

I said it was up in the air as to what all character concerns he may have, as there haven't been many specifics other than a couple scouts mentioning the LSU episode. I don't know for sure what personal issues he has, if any, so I'll wait and see what he does. But as I've said countless times on here, I mainly don't like his lack of a consistent motor on the field. That goes beyond the skill aspect, and brings up the question of whether or not he'll have the drive to succeed against what will be astronomically better competition. That is all.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
