I - like you all - cringed when he was picked so high by Wanny (especially in light of the Jamar Fletcher pick before), but it wasn't his fault that he was picked so high and had a ton of pressure on him. He probably expected to go in the fourth or fifth round, afterall - hoping to make a squad w/ special teams ability.
I've never been a big fan of him, but it's too bad he never got a shot to prove he was worth the pick. Oh well ...
That is a good point that I had failed to ponder when I posted this.BlueFin said:He was paid handsomely for his troubles so there is no pity here.

I guess I was just hoping that the guy would develop into a decent OLB or something but it never happened.
True, but think of it this way? How many of us come so close to our dream job/life - have the whole thing crumble away, but still have millions to walk away with? I'm thinking about 0.0001 percent of us do.Dol-Fan Dupree said:That is a horrible point that is just made out of jealousy. Pretty much saying the guy deserves to have his dreams shattered because he got paid a few million dollars.

So at least he has something to fall back on. Plus, the guy still will have the chance to play again, I'm sure - although probably not with us.
