    Kiper is high on him. I think he would be solid DE for us.

    Nfldraftcountdown.com has him listed at 6-5 250. Which one is accurate?

    He's 290. He has just gained alot of weight while in college. He walked on the Hawaii basketball team as a freshman at 6'5 220 and gained like 70 pounds in three years. Hawaii plays the 34 so he would be a natural fit.

    Yeah, I mean seriously. How dare he not be named Mike Smith. F4#$#%ing people with names from cultures besides America. They're so ignorant.

    I was hoping for a more vicious come back than that from TGG's official meanest poster 2005.

    Yeah, that was just a figurehead position. I think we're hiring on merit this year.

    He'd team well with Kimo Von Ohleffen... (And I still can't spell his last name).

    A chill pill? Really? Have you lost the edge and toughness that you had honed making fun of pre-teens on a message board?

    He didn't mean anything by that comment. It is a crazy name. You can't deny that... Not saying anything more than that.

    No he took a shot @ people of polynesian heritage and for that he deserves to be ripped a new one. (sarcasm)

    He looked real good in the Hula Bowl.

    He might be my favorite 3-4 end in this draft.
