The kid went to the combine and did well. He's been a consistent performer during his college career.

Now if he's guilty of the DUi then he's a dumb 22-year-old kid.

But there are some scouting reports that bring up concerns about his work-ethic (and his conditioning) and his weight. I was not one of those who brought it up, and maybe his work ethic is actually a strength, but it is on some scouting reports' radars. Here, for example, are the weaknesses identified by one scouting report:

• Weaknesses:
  • Not a dynamic interior pass rusher
  • May not have a role in the sub package
  • Could be limited to being a two-down defender
  • Poor work ethic
    
  • Sub-par conditioning habits
    
  • Needs to keep his weight in check

  As far as conditioning, I think many of us noted that he was on the sideline during key parts of a playoff game last year, during obvious run situations. In fact, the camera focused on him on the sidelines, and the announcers express surprise that he was out during those key plays. But he was obviously winded.
