2013 NFL Draft Prospects

I just hope he truly is a victim in all this and there's not more that we don't know yet.

Manti could be doing half the chicks on campus easily. He choses to share his feelings over the phone with a girl he has never met? hmmmmmm

Well, ND women aren't exactly the hottest women in the country(The Downfall of Notre Dame Explained with Pictures « (http://coedmagazine.com/2009/12/22/the-downfall-of-notre-dame-explained-with-pictures/) ), but yes good point.

Finding it harder to believe that he and that Tuiasasopo kid weren't in on all this together

What about the ND investigation???

lol

He's a pathological liar. It's painfully obvious his story is so full of shit and he got caught. He needs to go see a shrink and get some serious help.

I'd take him on the Redskins!

Well i saw the story on espn, which doesnt exactly line up with the article. So, you really have no idea what is true and what is not do you BHA? None of us do rite now. Im glad you think u understand the situation though. You are the only one in the free world who understands it rite now. Lol. Excuse my "rant".
Edit: one thing is for sure rite now : either he was in on it or he wasnt. Our opinions seem to differ. To call my opinion an uneducated rant because i didnt read an article that you read is - well - just wrong.

It's well documented that he claimed to have met her in person. Now, it's possible he never did and just lied about it so he didn't sound like a loser. There is back tracking being done now, but he obviously lied about some details.

Last bit of Manti Te'o I want to bring up:

A) Where will he be drafted if this is a hoax which he made up?

B) Regardless of the answer to question A, would you draft Manti if he fell to us in the 2nd?

C) I think this commentor on profootballtalk.com's comment section said it best:

He has an easy out here folks: he’s going to claim to be gay and he made this girlfriend up to avoid being blackballed by the Heisman voters and NFL teams… that are clearly anti-gay.

He’ll become the ultimate victim having to make up something so outrageous because college and professional sports don’t accept gay players. He’ll get the support of the gay community and will be the first ever openly gay NFL player."

I suggested option c earlier in this thread as well. Even if he's not gay, his best move from a PR standpoint would be to say he is. Suddenly he'd go from being a liar to being a victim and a hero.

If that's the case I'd cross him off my draft board if I was an NFL team. He's got some serious 'splaining to do.

If he is not gay he should not cover up a lie with another lie. If he says he is gay and gets caught with a woman at any point in his career... I can only imagine what people would say, especially folks from the gay community.
