The rap on Knile out of HS was he was injury prone. Had 2 pretty serious injuries and I think he might have missed a good chunk of his Jr/Sr years.

Petrino gave him a shot. He's a physical phenom, and super super super nice good kid. I can't tell you how many pics of him with my friend's kids I've seen on facebook over the years. He's a demon in the weight room and attacks rehab like a monster. He's been hurt a lot and hitting the weight and rehabbing is all he could do.

The dipshit lame duck coaches namely JLS, and Tim Horton kept him out of contact for a year and a half and of course he had problems holding onto the ball when he came back because EVERYONE was ripping at it.

He's got speed, can get in space, and the jury is out if he can run in the middle in the NFL w/o getting hurt or coughing the ball up on the first hit.

I can't explain enough about how he's one of those high character guys and he knows he f'd up by not sticking around and playing for 2Beez, but he couldn't risk another major injury. I think he'll surprise a lot of people and last in the NFL for awhile, a lot of it will be due to his athleticism and he'll be a locker room and fan favorite if he has any bit of on the field success.
