    I can't believe HOW MUCH this guy has fallen off my own interest level. I heard a radio show recently where they were talking about Taylor Mays and I leanred something I wasn't even considering.

    Evidently, it is believed he'll have trouble keeping his bodyweight at 235 pounds. One of the guys that works for scouting publication mentioned that his bodyweight in recent years has plummeted to over 260 without him looking fat if you will. The perception from this guy (Tom Lugenbill?) is that his bodyweight will make eventually him an outside LBer at the next level. One of the endearing qualities I found about him last year was hearing he ran 4.2s and 4.3s at that size meaning. I imagine this drops off some if he eventually plays OLBer but it's prolly good speed for that position.

    Alo, have you heard anything about the bodyweight stuff I mentioned?

    I think the other part of his play falling off this year is the front 7 wasn't as strong and some secondary personnel around him have moved on. That's prolly why Carroll guilted him into staying. Seems like every player that STAYED at USC (Leinart, Rey and now Mays) hurt their draft stock considerably. He seemed really pissed at Sanchez for understanding this.

    I haven't heard that, though I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

    My biggest concern is his lack of instincts. That could seriously limit his NFL upside, whether it's at safety or linebacker.

  • Joe McKnight is not expected to participate in Saturday's Emerald Bowl because he has not yet been cleared by USC's compliance department, two sources told ESPN.com's Joe Schad.

    Two people close to the program said McKnight had not yet been cleared as of the team's arrival at AT&T Park.

    McKnight's alleged use of an SUV is under investigaton by the school.
