Exactly. He’s an idiot.

Part of it could be that he's on his own now, and doesn't have a huge team of resource personnel from the Alabama staff to keep him focused and pointing in the right direction.

Really though I saw a couple clips of him this week, one was him picking Tee Higgins up after his fumble last Saturday and one was him picking Anthony up after the Chiefs loss and I was hoping that meant there is something there after all.

We cut Irwin so this kid could fail to take the field. Cut his ass and sign a guy who wants to succeed.

We cut Irwin because he was awful.

3 catches on 10 targets for 15 yards with a drop.

I heard he's being sued and evicted by his landlord. The kid just doesn't have the skillset to do life.

I had not heard that, but if true, that only makes my feelings about him more firm.

A reddit user, also found out that Burton is getting evicted from his apartment, which is @ Radius at the banks. He claims hes getting more information, but his girlfriends friend works at Radius.

Dont know if this is connected, but its certainly interesting.

We agree on this much.  He's not ready to be a pro.  Maybe not ready to be an adult.

I bet his mom did everything for him throughout his life. He has no experience with anything I presume. He needs to get somebody to handle his accounts for him

I mean, at the risk of defending Burton, that's most NFL rookies. He went from being an actual legal child to being a 4 star recruit to Div 1 top-tier SEC teams. 

Having to learn life skills, working side jobs to make ends meet and so they can budget out enough of their money to eat ramen wasn't ever really in his curriculum. It's not like public schools are really teaching you useful life skills like that, so unless your parents teach you, you're kind of stuck to figure it out yourself. 

For normal people it's slower and with lower stakes than a 7-digit salary, and probably close to your childhood home rather than wherever the 1 of 32 teams took you are located.

Remember when folks wanted him to have #3 so we'd have 513?

I was never a fan of the pick, but I hope the kid gets it figured out

Except Alabama gave him a positive recommendation. They said he was a knucklehead but the NFL is a business. But yep they won’t do that again.

BY this time in his career, Chris Henry was already dealing with his first arrest and soon to be dealing with his 2nd.

At least Jermaine has managed to stay out of jail.

I don't think he's a thuggish type of dude, he just seems.... childlike. A bit of a chowderhead.

36 months or less police will be called to his hotel room.

Yes, that's nice.

What makes this pick more of a headscratcher than it was previously, is weren't we told that under the Zac Taylor regime they were only looking for high character guys, teams captains and such? I mean, I'd have trouble hiring this guy to walk my dog..
