Someone else mentioned that the cards are handwritten.

Giving the benefit of doubt that the handwriting isn't the most legible.

Also might be intimidating to speak in front of that crowd.

Were not the only ones. Feel for the guy.

Both of these guys seem like they're great players but a bit unpolished and they seem like they'd be higher if they didn't have some motivational problems.  That scares me due to our pass experiences, but the new coaching staff and new (hopefully new) mentality of the team will make them perform.

Not sure how I feel about our day two picks.

Never heard unpolished or motivational problems in relation to Hubbard...

Speaking in front of a hundred thousand people and on national television is pretty unnerving.

Yeah.

Sucks to work so hard to achieve a dream and have it pulled out from under your feet because of something you can't control.

Speaking from experience, having had 5 diagnosed concussions, when I get a little nervous I do find that my mouth cant keep up with my brain trying to speak. I imagine it might be a little similar to that.

Let Jefferson do his thing, and he will be a Vontaze Burfict, Jr.

[Gamma Ray Tan]

Looks like we're riding with a suspect RG and RT. Hope Westerman and Fisher can get it done or getting Glenn and Price will mean nothing....this year at least.

Yeah, motivation isn't a problem for him, but it's more of he just doesn't have raw power or burst and doesn't have a quick first step, meaning that he can't win battles on abilities alone.

It kind of makes him the opposite of unmotivated lol.

Crosby is still there

Nervous that Marvin ‘the linebacker career killer’ will ruin Jefferson. Marvin, when not making time management errors during a game, is poorly coaching LBers. Concerned for Malik.

Starks just said Pissburgh... HAH!

I’m getting really sick of this ass hat announcing the pick for the steAlers. Kinda want to punch his mother in the throat for not swallowing.

Ok. I’m sold. I spoken in front of a full room before and even cried once (of course it was a speech about my mother). But can relate.

LOL to Meester rockin' the Sknyrd Tee under the sport coat.

Doesn't just rep the team, reps the local music as well...

[Beaker]

steelers swing and miss with an underperforming OT from a MAC school.

[jfkbengals]

Have to say I dig the violin and piano version of Twisted Sister...

[BengalHawk62]

Has anyone from Clemson been drafted yet?
