Draft 2013 - Mocks or Rankings

[Draft Crazy]

I know most Notre Dame teammates did not like Te'o as a person. Thought he was very selfish and wanted the spotlight. Not a leader by any means. I wouldn't touch this guy in the top 2 rounds if not more. I may take him off my board to be honest. He is just an odd guy who lacks the physical tools of a great NFL LB. Isn't worth getting an average LB who is an odd duckling. Still wouldn't shock me if this Tuiasasopo guy is just taking the blame for something he and Manti set up together and he is going to get some nice chunk of cash for taking all of the blame when he gets that first paycheck.

You know Crash - I have felt the same way about T'eo sometimes, but he is just a mess and I'm not sure he is that good a ball player.

Te'o just doesn't have the physical tools needed at ILB in the NFL to be a "great ILB" he could be a good one, but he is limited in terms of a great one. One could argue neither did Zach Thomas, but Thomas had good speed and quick feet and shed blocks well. Te'o has not shown that. Combine that with him being disliked by teammates and labeled a selfish guy and he just really uninterested you as a football player. I'm not calling him an awful ILB by any means. He just isn't worth a first round pick based on physical tools alone, add the type of person he is and I am just fully turned off by him. He is young, he could change as a person, but the last person you want on your team is someone who is not well liked by his teammates due to everything being about himself. I have deal with coaches in indoor leagues and they don't care how good a player is, if you label them a "ME" player they automatically are uninterested. Te'o will obviously get a shot as teams will overlook that for what he brought to the table in college, but I just don't want to be that team doing so.

I heard he was a bit time loner and really heard a lot of the same things from various radio personalities and things I read... that's why I don't want him... not because I don't think he can play or the gf thing.

Yeah, I mean he can obviously play. He proved that. Now, I don't think he will have anywhere near the impact he will at the NFL level that he did the college level no gf, weird personality or not.. But just his personality and the way his teammates talk about him would be my biggest turn off.
