Watch the story E 60 did on him. Does anyone know where this guy went? He was suppose to be a top 10 pick but went through depression. Watch the video and tell me this guy isn't worth the risk. He didn't get drafted why in gods world would we not give this guy a chance?

Well, it appears that all 32 teams are apprehensive. Because he is still unsigned. One scouting report said "he has to get his life together". That's pretty rough, I don't think they mean balance his check book and do his dirty laundry.
Suppose he does great, and he is a key part of the defense, then the pressure is too much and he doesn't show for a playoff game? Is that worth the risk? It seems the NFL says no. We'll see.

With all the players teams take chances on every year, I'm surprised nobody has taken one on him.

This guy flat out no showed to games and practice then showed up fat and out of weight. I hope the guy gets better, but how could you count on a guy who may forget to take his meds?

Wow, we could use this guy Big Time, my step sister and her son suffer from Manic Depression, and as long as they take their medication they are fine. I would sign this kid, and put in his contract that he will have a set person that will make sure he takes his pills every day. That guy looks like the missing piece on the D-Line. Go get him Al.

I honestly think the Colts would be the best fit.
