He's practically a Keenan Lewis clone and he's settled down with a wife and 2 daughters. Great character guy and a phenomenal athlete.

Maybe a clone size wise in a way, but their games are not the same at all. Both Good & physical but desir has way better ball skills. Desir's reaction/closing speed is pretty awesome & consistently locates the ball in air and makes the catch away from his body, something you rarely see lewis do. Pierre is a more of a true ball hawk. But that is one thing i did love about him...gotta love a family man, tend to carry themselves to a higher standard. You wont have the off field issues. He transfered from washburn to lindenwood to be closer to family so he could better care for his daughters & put NFL plans on the backburner. Washburn wouldnt release him from his scholarship and wasnt eligible to receive support from lindenwood. Pierre ended up having to work as a janitor & perform other jobs to build finances. Gotta pull for a family man with his story...great guy. He Didnt think he'd have a shot after transferring but still worked hard.

Funny thing is Pierre actually was recruited by Mizzou, Kansas, & Michigan State(him & dennard would have been something) but academically ineligible.

Desir would be a great selection, especially since there wouldnt be a dire need to start him right away & let champ/keenan coach him up, let him play as the nickel then overtake champ at some point in the next 2 years. He may not be there in round 2 when we pick again though.

Actually I agree with the NFL Draft Scout comparison of Pierre Desir, Lindenwood to a Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie...

And that Walt Aikens to Keenan Lewis; ironically, Aikens is actually slightly bigger, though as Shakespeare's Caesar would say the he 'has a lean and hungry look' or as Apollo Creed would say "eye of the tiger"...

Qualities we must have in our defenders...
