I would not even draft the guy that is absolutely disgusting.

I’m not sure how I feel about this.

It shows how much family means to him.

gives a new meaning to the saying “It’s like kissing your sister”

Talent or past digressions. He will definitely be a media circus for a few weeks. Not good for any team in that regard. Very Athletic but has not played against tough competition.
I think since his only talent is combine athletic ability I would pass. To big a locker room issue for my team.

I mean the guy was 16 and had sex with a 15 year old. If they were both 18 he wouldnt be a sex offender. The part about it being his sister, Im going to pretend I dont remember.

They tried to charge me for a sex offense for taking a piss outside a bar. The cop tried to say he could see my wang from across the street; I figured either the pig lied or I should be in porn.
The judge agreed and it was dismissed.

Without hesitation. That’s how bad I want the Colts to draft good linemen. Let him slip to the 7th. At least he didn’t kill a guy at a Super Bowl party, fund a million dollar dog-fighting ring, get drunk and drive over someone, have his baby’s mother shot, facilitate a drug deal with his cell phone or anything like that. At the risk of making people from my state seem tolerant of incest, I say f*** it, who cares?

mostly because it’s not something anyone wants to talk about. I don’t know whether this should be a huge red flag, considering the fact that it happened eight years ago, and as a 16 year old, perhaps he had a really rough childhood. Too many variables. I’d personally be more worried if it was a repetitive thing, or if he had an attitude problem or was considered to be uncoachable.

I’ve never known why some things are worthy of a life-long stigma as “SEXUAL PREDATOR”.

Seriously, I think teenage incest is as ewww’worthy as anyone, but worthy of being called a predator and being feared by neighborhood watch people fro the rest of your life?

I actually got called a perv somewhere else cause I said the guy deserved a chance somewhere.

and when I saw your title I knew exactly what you were talking about

He may go 3rd day to some team because of it. I hope someone in the NFL gives him a chance to prove that he’ll never do something of this magnitude again. He’s the model on picking or not picking someone becuase of personality/character issues, or off the field incidents.

It is just really really really gross. I think I’m going to puke now.

i use to work w/ juvenile sex offenders in a max secure lock up…. you wouldnt believe some of the shit i heard… this is actually kind of mild…. as sick as it is

Based on the fact that we simply don’t know enough about his situation at the time.
But I seriously worry about the reception he’d get in the locker room. I’d be interested to find out how his teammates in college treated him.

Yeah, this is a very emotional topic. A lot of us are fathers and all of us are human beings so their is the initial negative reaction.

But I will emphatically go along with the group that believes in second chances. There are many other worse cases in the NFL and professional sports [not to mention business and government] of criminals, wife beaters, adulterers, addicts etc. who get second, third and fourth chances in life for incidents that occured when they were in their twenties, thirties, forties, or older. This kid was sixteen and some would want to brand him for life and ensure he could not become any kind of positive force in society because of this.

I would not have a problem if my team, the Lions, chose this guy.

Disclaimer: I am not of this opinion with Micheal Vick.

Any decent ownership group is going to really scrutinize him before they draft him.

However if he starts to drop, his physical ability may cause someone to take the gamble in spite of the issues he carries. who knows, here’s hoping he has turned a corner and that is all behind him.

So at least allow him to try and make some money in NFL and than hide on island somewhere.
As other people have alluded, he won’t survive the locker room unless he is a very, very, mentally tough kid.
Honestly, I wouldn’t want him on my team. Reporters are ruthless enough, the distraction could be potentially huge.
