The Daily Press reports an NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) source with knowledge of the situation said expelled Virginia LB Ahmad Brooks (http://www.kffl.com/player/13597/nfl) likely will apply for the NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl)'s supplemental draft, usually held in July or August. The supplemental draft is a route sometimes taken by players in situations such as Brooks. "There's still a lot of interest (by NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) teams) on Ahmad's part due to his natural athleticism," said the NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) source, who expects some team to take a "risk" on Brooks. "The only question NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) teams would have is on his character, his work ethic and his passion for the game. He has a very, very long road ahead of him." Said the NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) source: "The NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl) front-office personnel are going to ask themselves, 'If he can't comply with a stringent, professional, rigorous schedule that (Virginia head coach) Al Groh has for his team, then how do we expect him to comply with our rules that we have at this level?' "

he's a good player, but i don't think the skins are going to jump to get him... maybe worth a 6th or 7th, but not more since there's a high chance he doesn't care enough and doesn't work hard enough to be good. lindsey (LB coach) isn't exactly the type to put up with guys that don't care.
