Radi was just on 92.9 and didn't really deny it. Said it was similar to George Pickens in a way. Not enough there to warrant dropping in draft was his take though. Nothing serious like crimes or anything

Josh Pate's take on the "character issue" was pretty spot on...


These guys, especially in the trenches, need to have some "character issues" because at the end of the day their job is to physically dominate and mentally own the guy in front of them. What regular society would view as "character issues" are actually the exact traits a CFB/NFL organization would be looking for in their players.


You can be rough around the edges and a little crazy, without being an outright criminal and general POS. Pickens is a great example of that.
