Wonder if he's just not a good interview, or has burned bridges in the past that have reverberated around the NFL.

I have interviewed numerous job applicants whom look incredible on paper....and then cannot string words together to form a coherent sentence if it was to save their life in an interview.

I also once choose not to hire a guy because during the 45 minutes interview process, he never once met my eyes. He was always looking somewhere else when talking. Don't know why but that was a complete turnoff.

And finally, I started tracking the number of times a guy said "uh..." in an interview...and stopped doing so when I hit 250. Seriously, he said "uh..." more than 250 times in a 30-40 minute interview. Stop....think....speak. Not a hard sequence to follow.

Lots of reason folks don't get hired for jobs.
