I posted it because I think it’s a positive. I haven’t seen anything that indicates any sort of character issue in the NFL for him. He’d need to bomb the interview process to slide out of the top 5 IMO.
Holy crap that better not be the "evidence" FFS I'd rate him HIGHER after reading that responsible life outlook.
I have no problem taking KT but if its between KT, Neal, or Iky give me the OT 10/10 times. Zach is by far the most important piece to making this franchise work - get him right before anything else.
The Jets should run to the podium to take him if/when he's available The concern about Thibodeaux's "desire" is such a weak one. He had 55 sacks or tackle for losses in 30 games at Oregon. So basically twice a game he had drive killing big plays. If that's him playing without desire, I'd love to see the results of him playing hard for a $100 mil contract.
The people who suddenly don’t want him are the ones that saw him record only one sack against Utah when they threw a tightend and tackle at him all game and ran double teams in the running game right at him.
And I'm not concerned about 1 game. Becton may have given up 2 sacks to Farrell in that game, but overall I thought he had a pretty decent rookie season.
Here's another quote from KT. Can't believe there are people taking this as a bad thing. It shows the guy isn't a moron.
Eh, Clowney never showed to be an effective edge rusher in college. They played him inside quite a bit (and he was more effective there). KT has dominated the edge since he stepped on the field for Oregon.
i am not hoping to sway anyone's opinion, that's for sure. just reporting what the gut-0-meter is sayn.
My two cents. A week ago or so KT was never going to be there at 4 for us. Now he might drop because of carácter flaws.I yet to read one drop of news that remotely hints to KT lack of desire. Where is that shit actually coming from and what is it based on? Is his body of work in College meritorious or not of the high ranking, yes or not? That is the key. To me, seems there is nothing out there that remotely questions that.
I just hope the FO tunes out the noise and makes an objective decision -- maybe benefitted by luck of a guy being there As a reminder, Aaron Donald, JJ Watt, Jevon Kearse and others were selected after 10 (even our own Sheldon who IIRC was DROY). I know i'm mixing in tackles and edges but we should all be cheerful with the opportunity for a meaningful contributor and hopefully a real impact player even with our 10 pick.
It's coming from a team that wants him to fall. My gut says the Jets or Giants are leaking this nonsense to get him to fall to 4 or 5. Both teams need edge help and he won't get past 5 so it's got to be a team in the top 5 leaking it.
I'll be so fuckin disappointed if we get kayvon. Hes not as good as you think, and a fuckin head case. He doesn't play the run, no pass rush moves. Im telling you.... Jermaine Johnson..perfect fit, great hands no questioning how bad he wants it.
