But NFL writer Jason Cole from YahooSports.com said on the show Monday that he would stand clear of the man who endured a season-ending suspension.

"I know somebody who has a lot of experience with this kid," Cole said. "He said, 'The only way I would take this guy is if I hired somebody to go wake him up in the morning to get him to practice, wake him up to get him to meetings, and wake him up on Sundays to get him to games.' "

Cole said the guy is just bad news.

"He is not a motivated kid," he said. "He doesn't understand the discipline or work that goes into being an NFL player. Now he may get it someday, and somebody may get it out of him. But when you have the 12th pick in the draft, you can't take a lot of risk. If you were talking about taking him in the second or third round, OK, you try to work with him. To take him at No. 12 . . . that would scare me.

"You just can't miss anymore in this league with a first-round pick. This kid has 'miss' written all over it. There's nothing worse than an unmotivated guy. He has serious character flaws.

"There's teammates of his who say, 'We weren't worried about him being late for the three hours before the game, we were wondering if he was going to be late for warmups 45 minutes before the game.' "

Now if that is not a red flag, I don't know what is. Still, someone is going to take a chance on him and early in the 1st round.

IF those comments are valid, there is no way Bill Parcells and the regime will take a chance.

I would not say it would destroy Dez Bryant chances of going early to mid first round, but it will not help and he could possibly drop.

Percy Harvin is a kid that had some serious character issues as well, but he ended up going I believe 21st to Minnesota in the 1st round. I believe he was projected in the mid first round.

Teams will certainly investigate Mr. Bryant throughly before they pull the trigger. Vontae Davis also had some character issues, but the Dolphins checked into the issues and Vontae has been nothing but solid in his 1st year with the Phins.
