1. Tyrann Mathieu, LSU, DB-KR: The guy formerly known as the "Honey Badger" almost won the Heisman in 2011 but then had all sorts of off-field problems and missed the 2012 season. Mathieu's lack of size (5-foot-8, 180 pounds) was always going to be a concern for most folks. Now you factor in some character question marks, and you have a prospect who probably doesn't go in the first 100 picks. He'd be a small corner, but skill-wise, he's not really a pure cover man. But he is super quick and instinctive. Above all, Mathieu is fearless with an uncanny knack for making big plays, whether those are picks, forced fumbles or sacks. In 26 games at LSU, he created an astounding 14 turnovers, and that was in his first two seasons in the program -- a time when few blue-chippers at LSU are even on the two-deep

I believe he's got the heart to play in NFL,and I hope he gets the opportunity,but can he shed all the distractions and focus on football ? He seems like a very nice young man who's been blessed with these great skills. I'll be rooting for him.

He will go in the 3-4 round. Book it. He was never a 1st rounder because of his size.

When he was a freshamn, i told my dad he would be the greatest player to ever be at this school. One more year and I think he would have been arguably that person. Sad that his aura and stupidity got in the way. I hope he can come back and have a long successful career in the NFL. Even after his issues, he still stood up and took the criticism instead of making excuses.

How many collge football players did not smoke pot or get drunk while in college? How many of these did it in High school too?

Hopefully, when they get outta college they grow up. If not, then they will not be in "the league" long, if at all.
