Rey's got a lot of growing up to do (on and off the field). His previous arrest at SC was kept on the down low b/c the team has that much pull- he was on greek row and some frat guy was talking smack to him. Rey totally clocked the guy and when people were yelling to get the cops, he ran off yelling "I own the police!"
Ask whoever watched SC football and they'd tell you this past year wasn't a surprise in how everything shook out for the three linebackers. Outsiders only watched youtube highlights before the combine when deciding Rey-Rey was the hype.
I thought Cushing had some domestic/personal issues in college too?

I had heard rumors that many NFL teams were worried about Cushing's personal issues and possible performance enhancing drung use. Still glad we got Orakpo though!!!

Yeah a buddy of mine who used to work on the Redskins training staff said he has firsthand knowledge that Cushing has been a juicer since high school.

We dodged a bullet not drafting him. We should worry about Rinehart though. We can't afford him not contributing somewhere on the OL because of off field trouble.

Uh, what domestic/personal issues? You mean accusations of steroid use that appeared during pre-draft workouts? Hardly issues discussed during his college tenure and predictably "investigated" when players are scrutinized most. Also, those accusations were quashed... just because he's big and fast doesn't mean he's juicing (gaining 60 pounds in four years of HS football aren't enough to say he's guilty, imo) - the dude's a workout warrior.
The closest controversy Cush ever experienced at SC were injuries (and a dumb facebook prank he did with some other players).

From the file of players who were nearly Redskins.
He did make the transition to OLB much better than I thought he would. I was wrong on that.
