He is not an every-down back in the NFL & he never will be. He is positional at best - possibly a 3rd down pass rusher and special teams type; someone NO team in the NFL has the luxury of spending a high draft pick on.

But the circus tent is now pitched; let the accusations fly about how "Homophobic" the NFL is when he slips to the 4th round. Any team that drafts him will be praying for a Tebow atmosphere in comparison. As Stallworth commented, a well run football operation can not only negate the distractions, but can put a positive spin on it - the ones who can't don't have the ability to run a top flight organization anyway.

Best of luck to him wherever he lands - there will be a distinct, welcomed, and much needed change in atmosphere.
it's funny that suddenly the top defensive player in the sec and an all-american isn't big enough, good enough, etc. makes one wonder how he was ever projected as a third rounder to begin with.
