I like the comment about Bryant McKinnie. he didnt shut him out that game.. Miami had to double/triple him half the game to keep him from blowing by him..

He was held mercilessly that game. It was a farce. Once in the NFL, oh my goodness, guess what? Freeney got sacks on him.

Head coach 1 got the inside poop from the OL guys. Hardest guy to block at the combine...there is your tell.

He held the sh I I t outta him all game long and announcers talked about it cause it was so obvious.

Freeney owned him in the NFL. It was satisfying to watch.

Yup... it was ridiculous. He got held all day and Miami ran up the score and then they cut away from the game in the 4th quarter. Still boils my blood!

All I need to know about his pro career is how many analysts pointed out that opposing offenses had to game plan around him. Had the Colts ever obtained a couple big run stuffing d-tackles to prevent teams from running straight up the middle on them, he'd have had more sack opportunities too.

Kiper being called a draft expert is definitely a reach, however

Based on what the team scouts said, he wasn't anymore wrong than they were.

I find it interesting that the coaches seemed to like him more than thw scouts.
