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..
Overhyped...yes.
Medicore.....He is one of ILBs considered elite by every scouting service and guru.
Too slow...his first combine time was the same as Ray Lewis, his pro day time was faster than Ray Lewis.
Ray Lewis had a fairly good career in the NFL.
Conclusion: He will be a great value in the second round.
On the Alabama game: When your Dline is getting knocked back into your LBs, it’s a long day for the backers.
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.
