*UPDATE* Malik McDowell Was Misunderstood

Malik was originally a guy I was rooting for and hoping to see succeed in the NFL. He seemed like a monster and someone who just wasn't in the right situation at first glance.

Well, after his comments I'm questioning his IQ and sanity.

Well, hey he fills a need at safety amirite?

...

*UPDATE* So looks like this twitter guy took what McDowell said out of context.

Watch the interview video

1:15 onward

McDowell is saying that he has an unconventional style of using his hands to shed blocks and get to the back field and once his coaches saw that his techniques worked, they stopped trying to "fix" him. 

These kids are not paid to be articulate. Sometimes they say perfectly normal things in an awkward manner which could end up conveying the wrong message. 

So don't worry about McDowell. He'd be great at the 40th honestly, and he will probably fall that far.

Never have been high on him.  Only thought he May creep into the bottom of the 1st

Theres a reason he's one of the top athletes here and upside but the majority of Mocks have him going 20 at the highest and some have him going as low as mid to low 2nd

 

i had him mocked to the Seahawks because there won't be a OT worth picking there and he has upside.  They deal with guys off field stuff all the time

Sounds like Greg Hardy. Hardy's production and physical traits sounded like a round 1 guy as a junior, but a subpar senior year and likely that personality dropped him in the draft. These "uncoachable traits" could drop him on some mentally weak teams. Teams that have a strong leadership on the field, and coaches that can direct his personality will get a steal then.

 

Reading up on Malik, one controversial quote was how he likes to embarrass OL in practice. Some would take that as a guy who would be a locker room problem. Not me. Personally, the OL should step up or step out in practice when he starts that. If they can't take him in practice, either improve or next guy up. Should be more a motivator than a demoralizer. If it spills off the practice field, yes that is when it is a problem, but that is not what has been said about him. 

 

If Malik brings same desire to embarrass the opposition on Sunday, good. Need a few more guys like that. 

 

Are we now a choirboys only team?
