Title: Re: Three rounds in the books, and Tiny is still undrafted Post by: 73Volgrad on May 10, 2014, 04:48:26 EDT Tiny is learning a life lesson early as a young adult. Do not believe everything that a so-called expert or your friends tell you.
If he took advice from an agent that was in his ear, that agent used him in the hopes that Tiny would go early and make him money. If he listened to his family or close friends, they were telling him what he wanted to hear and not reality. Almost all draft experts said he was early round talent, but scouts were afraid his injuries made him a risk. Right or wrong, it would appear the worry over his health scared everyone off. I really feel for Tiny, but he made his choice and now has to live with it. It does not matter what Tiny, his family, or advisers think. The people with the money and jobs considered him too much a risk to invest.

The people with the money and jobs considered him too much a risk to invest. I don't think health was an issue. He had a knee scoped last spring, but that's no big deal, and he quickly recovered and started all 12 games last season. The only knock I've heard on him is that he has a hard time keeping his weight down. Other than that, there is probably something we don't know about. Failed drug test, low wonderlic score, poor interview, etc. There must be something like that, because most projections I saw had him as a late 1st/early 2nd rounder- and now we're well into the 5th, and he's still on the board.
