[The Blue Blur]

Manti ran a 4.8, so what. He got pounded in the National Championship game, by an offensive line most NFL OC's are jealous of while also having the biggest hoax in college football weighing on his shoulders. The rest of the games I seen he played his heart out, led all LB's in INT's so he's got good ball skills. I'm not even a fan of this kid, I think he lied about a few things in the whole hoax. Before that, I thought he was cocky & stole the show when UK & ND played in basketball. He got a lot of publicity that he didn't deserve. Yet, like Eisen & Mayock said when he ran his 40's, he's full speed at 20 yards. He doesn't have that break away speed. As a LB should he?? How often do you see a LB run down a RB or WR from behind in the NFL?? Never. If the kid can be full speed at 4.8 with a heart & passion to play the game I'll take him. The other ILB prospect that has drawn the most interest is Alec Ogletree from Georgia. He's got the measurables but doesn't have his head on straight with obvious drug & alcohol problems looming. If he's sitting at 32, I guarentee as bad as you hate him RIUTG, Harbaugh takes him. Will he completely replace Lewis?? No. But does he have the ability to be a leader & learn from an experienced Super Bowl winning defensive?? Yes, he does. Hate on the kid now RIUTG, but you'll be glad you took him. I'm glad the Bengals took Burfict. He was slower than Manti at the combine, but he had a stellar rookie season.
