Anybody want to expound on this a little more? I don't understand the vitriol against this guy, other than the obvious "he was an overpaid first round bust".

Like I said, I didn't see any string of incidents with the law, or questions about his health. He's still extremely young, and hasn't ever played for a good pro team.

He may turn out to be a total bust who never catches on (a la Taylor Jacobs) but with the physical attributes the guy has, I don't see who wouldn't want to take a chance on the dude unless he is absolutely a headcase.

That's pretty much what makes him garbage.

He hasn't had any run-ins the law and he has been relatively injury-free. However, in Detroit, he had weight problems, didn't have a solid work ethic, and didn't play or practice well. I don't know how he was received in Oakland, but they obviously gave up on the kid. That Kiffin gave up on him says a lot IMO.

I don't think anyone hates the kid, we just think he's overpaid and dumb, lazy, and failing to take advantage of the opportunities afforded to him.
