Troubled prospects?!

[bigbolthead21]

Here's an interesting list I found in sdboltreport.com:


TROUBLED YOUTH?
Here’s a look at college prospects with a history of off-field issues or attitude problems that could affect their stock in the NFL draft.

LSU DT Claude Wroten: Felony arrest for marijuana possession with intent to distribute dismissed on a technicality, but was kicked out of the Senior Bowl for the incident. Acknowledged a history of failed drug tests for marijuana usage.

Virginia Tech QB Marcus Vick: Arrested for brandishing a firearm; stomped on leg of a Louisville defender, convicted of contributing to delinquency of a minor, charged with reckless driving and marijuana possession and driving while license revoked.

Florida State LB Ernie Sims: Domestic violence arrest involving his live-in girlfriend, pleaded no contest to reduced charge of disorderly conduct

USC OT Winston Justice: Pleaded no contest to solicitation of prostitution, suspended for an entire season in 2004 for exhibiting a replica firearm and received three years of probation.

Florida State DT Brodrick Bunkley: Pleaded no contest to stealing a video game, received probation.

Virginia Tech cornerback Jimmy Williams: Some teams complained that he was arrogant at the scouting combine.

Florida State LB A.J. Nicholson: Accused of sexual assault, but no charges were filed. Charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and drinking violations with police subduing him with a Taser gun.

USC RB Lendale White: Overweight, injured and thought to be lazy.

USC QB Matt Leinart: Scouts wonder if he's too enamored of the Hollywood scene.

Georgia TE Leonard Pope: Suspended for violating team rules.

Georgia OG Max Jean-Gilles: Questions about conditioning, dedication.

Central Florida WR Brandon Marshall: Arrested for trespassing and resisting arrest at a Denny’s restaurant

Oklahoma DT Dusty Dvoracek: Admitted alcoholic has cleaned up his act since undergoing counseling and treatment after a series of alcohol-related bar fights.

Georgia CB Demario Minter: Arrested for marijuana possession, received probation and community service.

Penn State CB Anwar Phillips: Accused of sexual assault and indecent aggravated assault by a female student. Expelled for two semesters, but was acquitted by a jury.

[POOpooMAGOO]

the funniest on that list is matt leinart and jimmy williams. its funny how they try and find some way to make the prospect seem not perfect.

Leinhart is NOT enamored with the Hollywood lifestyle. It is not HIS fault if Nick Lachey text messages him all throughout the draft.

and whats with football players getting in trouble late night at denny's ...

Granted we all make mistakes and have our limitations in life. I think being enamored with the hollywood scene is kind of hokie. Do scouts act like paparazzi by following Matt during his off time?

Someone who has committed a felony and repeats mistakes would be a definite red flag. An ESPN analyst (former GM) eluded to questioning a prospect with a past record to see if he would acknowledge his mistake. He denied what happened while the GM had a copy of his past history on his desk. Not too smart sonny.

In the end, I'd rather invest in a draft pick who has upside/room to improve with excellent intangibles (motivation/makes good choices) than a talented player whose character is in question.

Go Bolts

its funny how people keep misspelling Matt Leinarts name

Getting busted w/ pot in college? That's no big deal. So he smokes a little weed. Stealing a video game? Maybe he really wanted that Madden 06. Some are pretty small issues. The drunken bar fights, domestic violence, resisting arrests, sexual assault, gun toting is wrong. At least they could've waited until they were in the NFL!
