Seems that is the m.o. for most teams. Unless there is a great deal of trade talk for every single pick I think they should reduce the allotted time.

All of those moves are coached, He's been at Michigan. Loved Harbs here as a QB, but he hasn't been known to get the most out of his talent. Especially recently. Especially on the defensive side of the ball.

So yeah, put him in a room with Mathis and Houston. Teach him some moves. He'll be alright.

He has character and is very intelligent. He is driven, and has a goal to be better. Put him in a room with smart players and coaches he will grow. He has survived the worst of humanity, and now he just needs to PLAY. Men like him tend to RISE to the occasion. Playing in the NFL is nothing compared to what his family escaped from their homeland.

He has survived the worst violence imagined and people want to measure him with a three cone drill.
