Manti Teo's Draft Stock

[Nintendough]

Nine times outta ten Manti planned this out, which makes him one of the GOAT scumbags. I hope the Eagles draft him, we need more sleeze swag on the roster.

I know Ogletree and Mosley somewhere watching all this shyt like :rejoice:

If he lied he should be off ALL teams draft boards.


That shyt is scary if he lied

NFL -- Allison Glock profiles Tony Washington, the almost-recruit whose past has derailed a future pro career - ESPN

He says he didn't plan to do it. He was a teenager. Unstrung. Unsupervised. His world was at war. He was scared. Isolated. Except she was there, the two of them best friends, close as book pages. They loved each other, trusted each other. And one day that tipped into something more. Something neither one felt was wrong in the moment. "We were just sitting there, and it was like, 'Do you want to?'" he says. There was no discussion. "We did it. And it was like, 'OK, what's next?' We never talked about it after that."

Both say it happened only once more. The two never kissed. Never shared true intimacy. Just spontaneous, ill-conceived connections. Needs met when few others were.

Put yourself in any NFL owners position. Would you pay millions to a guy that has imaginary friends? I wouldn't.

Not all players drafted receive big contracts. No way he goes undrafted. He is weirdo/lunatic etc...but if a team rather pay him the price of a 4th round draft pick instead of a 1st round draft pick they will do it. Maurice Clarett was once a 3rd round draft pick. All it takes is 1 team. at Teo going from Top 10 to not mention at all.

I see what you did there Yea he would fit into ATL

People are looking at this too deep, I don't think it will affect his career, and once he gets drafted all he has to do is take the jokes in good grace and prove his worth on the field and he will be good.

So lying about having a dying girlfriend to MULTIPLE media outlets is something that people will just forget? This has a chance to end his career before it even gets started.

And to the people saying "well ND conducted an investigation so Teo just was a victim" y'all need to open your eyes. ND has everything to lose with this story b/c it's an integrity issue. Let's see what independent investigators have to say about whether it was a hoax or not...IMO Teo manipulated the public & knowingly lied. Seems OBVIOUS at this point

 

[Carlos Huerta]

Im definitely not misquoting them --- the segment has been repeating on ESPN on the hour. Notre Dame held a press conference saying that through a private investigation agency they determined that Te'o was lied to by unidentified parties, and that he was simply the victim of a hoax. Dude who held the conference even started crying at one point, saying "Te'o will never be able to trust anyone again"...now if you have evidence to the contrary, let me see it.

what "proof" do you need besides the fact that he and his father both said they met her? Why are you telling us what his school said as if that changes the fact?

 

[Carlos Huerta]

How stupid are some of you in here that actually have a shred of doubt that this dude lied? DID YOU TAKE A MINUTE TO ACTUALLY READ THE SPORTS ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE?

This guy couldn't even keep the story straight.. she went into a coma? Word? She flatlined twice? Wow..

I havent been following this story except for the deadspin article and whats been reported on ESPN....thats why i asked for evidence to the contrary. It seems you cats would rather respond with snotty lil posts, then actually link a brotha up with this evidence you're referring. Im making no personal stand on anything, Im just going by whats been presented so far to my eyes and ears. Is that so difficult for you to understand?
