seems like a 2nd rounder to me. i sincerely doubt this is going to cause his draft stock to fall much.

ya i could see if a team was on the fence maybe they pass but in that case hed just fall a few spots

The Alabama game killed his value, however. 3-4 round

There's always a chance he could tear an acl in practice and not play, then who'll be laughing?! Two ilnfl posters, that's who.

― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 20 January 2013 02:42 (twelve years ago)

Ha. I guess they just looked at the derivative of his public image with respect to time and extrapolated linearly to draft day.

All models point to an Elmer Gantry-esque future

I just hope those Michael Scotts in the NFL can figure out this dilemma

"Florio said: "It's been described to me as the proverbial elephant in the room and I don't think anyone knows how to solve this dilemma yet. It's just that they want to know what they're getting. They want to know what issues they may be dealing with down the road. We just assumed that at some point there would be an openly gay player in an NFL locker room and the team would have to work with the realities and make sure that everything's fine."

What a giant pack of cowards.

gay people deserve a cooler hero

― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Monday, 25 February 2013 20:22 (twelve years ago)

feel like florio's being used to leak an interview question, so manti will feel pressed to answer w/o any gm actually asking the question. cowardly, yeah.

― christmas candy bar (al leong), Monday, 25 February 2013 20:23 (twelve years ago)

low even by florio standards

― call all destroyer, Monday, 25 February 2013 20:24 (twelve years ago)

Florio said teams are likely not asking Te'o directly about his sexual orientation because the inquiries could get leaked to the public, much like when Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland asked then-Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant (now with the Dallas Cowboys) if his mother was a prostitute in 2010.
"I don't think you can ask that question -- because of the Dez Bryant question of a few years ago," Florio said. "If you go Katie Couric on Manti Te'o, it's going to come out that some team, some GM, some coach asked Manti Te'o if he's gay. Then you'll have to deal with all the distraction and all the stuff that flows after that."

also IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL AND DISCRIMINATORY

Florio is so sleazy

― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 February 2013 23:21 (twelve years ago)

Todd McShay says he still thinks Te'o is a first rounder.

― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Tuesday, 26 February 2013 20:55 (twelve years ago)
