But the real reason I can't say too much about it, is that I had my doubts about Orakpo during the draft coverage. I watched him play some, but not a great deal. He never seemed a really dominant player. The one thing that's grown on me about him though is his IQ & character. Don't underestimate that, smart guys have foresight & will more than likely realize what they need to do to be successful.
Same here. I agree wholeheartedly. Plus he seems to be working hard and appears to be motivated and happy to be here with the Redskins. He certainly has the talent needed to be an outstanding player.
