I hope they don't draft this guy. Alabama ate him up and made him a non factor. We already have a non factor MLB named Hawk!

I was thinking the same thing.
The real Manti Teo hoax was convincing people he could play!

LOL... Te'o is a good ILB, but not nearly as good as he was built up to be, thats for sure.

No. No. No.

Hopefully this is a TT misdirection and he's hoping one of the division rivals jump on this cupcake!

Maybe he can kick FG's

I don't think it is a fair evaluation based on one game. He's a young guy that was dealing with an enormous amount of media pressure at that time. You should look at his body of work that made him a Heisman finalist.
I think that he would look good in green and gold.

Te'o was a Heisman finalist based on playing average to slightly above average running games. Against teams with strong running attacks he disappeared. Against Stanford, Pitt, and BYU he was not even a factor. Alabama just further exposed his weakness as a run defender on a national stage. Te'o is a 3rd down nickel linebacker at best. You don't spend 1st round picks on situational linebackers.

@Wiscokid. Nope. This guy will be a bust wherever he goes.

Ted must have seen something in him or wouldn't be talking to him. Or it could just be a smokescreen. I guess time will tell.

Thanks for noticing buddy!

A new least favorite Packer ever? I hope not.

Hawk 2.0, hate it.
February 24, 2013 at 05:32 pm
i don't think he'll even be as good as hawk.
February 24, 2013 at 07:59 pm
Yep.

Yep.
