**** no. This guy has serious attitude issues. No way, no how. These flags were there even before he was drafted.

Hindsight is always 20-20, but it seems clear Mayhew underestimated the character issues that all teams were aware of prior to the 2011 draft. Young had been suspended in 2008 for behavior issues, and it wasn't difficult to find an NFL personnel man who privately expressed concern about his personality quirks.

Twentyman: Gil Brandt says it might be time for the Detroit Lions to part ways with Titus Young

Brandt is dead on with this point.

Brandt pointed to Young’s near year-long suspension as a sophomore at Boise State as the start of red flags that haven’t gone away. He wonders if they ever will.

“I just think you have to understand the magnitude of what Titus Young had at Boise State when he got suspended for the year,” Brandt said.

“Usually, a guy of his ability, gets suspended two games and the first game is against the Little Sisters of the Poor or something like that. I think you knew then that he was a pain in the (butt).”

If you have a college player that talented getting suspended for that length of time, that should tell you something.
