I'd say that's a crappy piece. If the author read the article he'd know the questions come less from his upbringing and more from his displayed demeanor up until his JUNIOR year in highschool. He wasn't a bad kid but was so isolated from society he didn't know basic things like what a teapot was or even how to be at school. He meets Tom Lemming, doesn't know who he is, and won't even speak to the guy because he had no clue how to have a conversation. Not that he doesn't WANT to...he doesn't KNOW HOW. They had to teach him how to shake hands when he was a junior in high school. Wow. From all accounts he is a good egg but completely abandoned for almost all of his choldhood. He might as well haved lived in a closet. My concern is that emotionally he may not handle it. That said the guy is a monster and if a team drafts him and can rely on veteran teammates to mentor him and show him the ropes he could be a stud. I'd take him at 13 over Smith and cross my fingers.

The story about picking the DE up and carrying him off the field to the bus was awesome.
