Poor character prospects
-
The Chicago Tribune put together a good list of guys with character concerns:
Alex Boone, OT, Ohio State: Repeated incidents involving alcohol don't bodewell for his draft stock.
Jonathan Casillas, LB, Wisconsin: He has had a couple of drunken-driving episodes, and scouts question his maturity.
Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois: The Illini's top defensive standout is considered a handful for coaches, as he was demoted in spring practice and benched for the start of a game.
Dannell Ellerbe, LB, Georgia: In one ugly incident, Ellerbe was arrested and charged with felony theft of a motor vehicle, giving false information to police, driving under the influence and underage possession of alcohol.
Arian Foster, RB, Tennessee: He has an arrest in his past for disorderly conduct and is considered difficult to deal with.
Shonn Greene, RB, Iowa: Scouts question his work ethic, and the Tribune's 2008 Silver Football winner had to sit out the 2007 season with academic issues.
Bruce Johnson, CB, Miami: Suspended for being late to practices and missing practices.
P.J. Hill, RB, Wisconsin: Arrested twice for driving under the influence.
Rey Maualuga, LB, Southern California: He was arrested for suspicion of misdemeanor battery, and in a separate incident benched for getting out of hand at a party.
Kory Sheets, RB, Purdue: Sheets was considered a finger-pointer who eventually was prohibited from speaking to the media after criticizing a teammate.
Andre Smith, OT, Alabama: He isn't a thug, but he has made a series of poor decisions off the field that will affect his stock.
Donald Washington, CB, Ohio State: He was benched for violating team rules.
Lardarius Webb, CB, Nicholls State: He was kicked out of Southern Mississippi for violating team rules.
Morris Wooten, LB, Arizona State: He has been suspended for violating team rules, and coaches have found him difficult.

I want to see one get drafted in the 6th round and the other in the 7th round by the same team.
