I'm sure there was, I just never read it. Like you said, watching the tape kinda just leaves you not even worrying about that stuff. Obviously I knew there were no character concerns as far as mixups with the law and the like, but without seeing a guy behind the scenes, you never know if it's a guy's immense talent overshadowing college talent or if it's that combined with stellar practice habits. Now we know it's both.

Like I said, when they announced the pick, I was good with it, while still being apprehensive about the line. My thoughts were he and Burrow would do well, but the team might not be so hot because of the line. Sure was glad to be wrong about that. Now we have him AND a revamped oline. Lots of potential for this team now. I'm certainly glad Tobin and company ignored the noise and brought him onboard. I really like him, and his WR mates for that matter.
