uart Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I've seen him projected around the 6th round, dropping because of his academic ambition (he hopes to become a surgeon after his pro career ends) and because he spent the last year at Oxford University rather than playing Football... BUT it would seem that he has early-round talent and is a hard-hitting safety. Worth a later round pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman88 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Actually the reason he is considered a 6th round pick is because of his play on the field. If it weren't for the Oxford scholarship you would probably hear nothing about him as a prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afinogenov Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Myron Rolle is my favorite prospect in the draft, there's nothing about his game that says he cant play in the NFL imo, the Jets should use their fourth rounder on him and spread some of that magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsnts725 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 i'd definitely would love to have him on the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre speed and questionable instincts are really what's hurting him, the Oxford stuff probably just helps his cause with a bunch of teams and will probably get him drafted earlier than he should be. A really highly regarded recruit but never played to it on the field at Florida State. Regardless, he's an athlete worth respecting and a tremendous person, whether or not he finds success in the NFL he'll be successful somewhere in life.

jetscanes331 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 he would have been a top 20 pick last year if he didnt do the rhodes scholarship. I think that is a little bit of a stretch... as mentioned he's a phenomenal person and a very talented football player but I'm fairly certain he doesn't plan on playing football for a very long time.

Stonehands Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 he would have been a top 20 pick last year if he didnt do the rhodes scholarship. No, he wouldn't have. Just isn't much of a factor on the field. You could maybe project him as a special teamer based on his size and speed, but a starting safety is a stretch.

Mistalava Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Not even a CFL caliber player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonwash29 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 maybe not a top 20 but he would have been the first safety taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
