This guy is not just some small school find who ended up in Canada.

He was set to be a Florida State starting linebacker before this:

The path to athletic stardom is a sinewy one, and sometimes people fall off it.

Take the case of Toronto Argonauts linebacker Marcus Ball.

But in 2008, just as he was about to feature as a starting linebacker for celebrated coach Bobby Bowden, Ball became one of 61 athletes at the university to get caught up in an academic fraud scandal (the violations ranged from having tutors take tests to gaining access to exam questions).

He gave up his scholarship, quit the team and headed to tiny Pearl River Community college for a season before transferring to the University of Memphis, a Division One minnow.

We might have drafted a Safety in the late rounds...that most likely won't be happening anymore. And as someone already said...you probably won't find a better Safety past the 3rd round of the draft. Great addition
