So glad he didn’t get the Heisman! I can’t believe he was really in the running. Others should have been in the finals.

Gig ‘em.

The Vikings love Notre Dame guys, and have 5 already.

Maybe they had some input.

Manti Te'o Falls Out Of The First Round Of The NFL Draft

This isn't true. The Patriots took him with their imaginary pick.

Just shocked that Jerry Jones didn’t pick him. He found someone even worse.

I try to avoid sports radio but every so often will tune into it and when I do it is a rare exception. yesterday, on ESPN radio, I heard a squeamish host say “Maybe I am naive .... but.... “ He then asked a co-host/guest whether Geno Smith was the victim of racism. Poor guy, I hope he overcomes the injustice.

He had a non-existent championship game but most of that was because of the fake girlfriend hoax he was ensnared in. Didn’t Tom Brady go in the 6th round ??

From a virtual girlfriend to a virtual pro football career?

He is also vastly overrated and overhyped. Way too small, and too slow to play LB in the pros...just look at what Bama did to him in the BCS game.

He didn't get the press like Te'o and was overshadowed on his own team by another Heisman candidate but Arthur Brown of Kansas State is a much better LB than Te'o.

6 1 240

The exact same size as Ray Lewis. Perhaps 1/8 of an inch shorter.

Really?.. I believe you..but he looks/seems/plays smaller..

Do you think he goes in the 2nd or 3rd round?

FWIW, here's my theory..there has been much rumor/speculation about one or more current NFL players coming out as gay this season. When the whole Te'o fake girlfriend broke, there was a lot of talk that he was gay..and that they story was concocted by Te'o, to make himself more palatable to the NFL..I think the guy's gay, the teams discovered it...and coupled with the earlier fiasco, they don't want to waste a pic on him..

The NFL Draft is a vastly overhyped event overhyped by the master of overhype, ESPN. A tribute to the power of marketing.

Yeah, I’m guessing he is either gay or profoundly moronic lol.

Mid to late 2nd round......JerryJones is sweet on him and he will trade up to get him and them have him flown directly to his penthouse.

The media overhyped a mediocre player...when will they start claiming racism?

I'm surprised that it hasn't started already.

Looks like the Chargers disagreed with you...
The title game meltdown was a team meltdwon, not just Te’o.

I watched him play for a few years here in South Bend ( I am a Mizzou fan by the way ) and he is a very good player overall but his intensity and instincts are definitely above average.

Pete Rose wasn’t a naturally “great” baseball player, but he was intense, hustled and worked hard to be a gamer, and became one of the great players of all time.

You can have all the talent and speed in the world but if you don`t know how to think and read the game it doesn`t do you any good....
