Calais Campbell is a Bum

[Vbsiena]

Miami of Florida DE Calais Campbell made only one pre-draft visit -- to the crosstown Dolphins' practice facility.

"I heard that can be a good thing," he said. "They don't have too many questions about you." Teams definitely have questions about Campbell, who showed up to the Combine out of shape. He's been compared to Courtney Brown.

Lol comparison to Courtney Brown.

Wow. I wouldn't be surprised to see him fall into the 5th or 6th rounds. What a slob.

[St_Conroy]

I'd definately take a go on him in the 3rd or 4th round.

There is no doubting his talent... while I think he's a fool for not taking this seriously, I still think teams would be crazy to not consider him in the 2nd round. He's like this year's Lendale White IMO... his stock is sliding because he's stupid, but someone will get a steal out of him as a result... because D-linemen and running backs don't really have to be smart to be good.

There's a difference between scoring poorly on the Wonderlic and being too stupid to stay in shape and not taking the initiative to meet NFL teams. Lendale White hasn't shown to be a stellar running back so far. Maybe he's played well enough to merit his 2nd round draft status, but no more than that.

I wouldn't touch Calais Campbell until the third round. He's lucky there's a major drop off in the quality of defensive ends. If he slips to the third, maybe the fourth round, it could serve as a wakeup call to the kid. I firmly believe if he had a work ethic and wasn't a lazy slob, he could be better than Chris Long and Vernon Gholston.

for a while he has been my #1 bust prediction.

the type of guy who without much effort can do well in college... sucks in the pros.

[bbix1134]

Maurice Clarett, anyone?

[Walter]

Some team's going to spend a late 2nd-rounder on him and regret it later on.

[SmilezDavis]

What a shame. This cat went from being considered the top defensive end to a clown.

[crash_diet]

That's the kind of thing that an agent handles. This kid may be getting some bad advice. He will definitely be selected first day; professional teams can motivate players much more effectively than in college or before the draft.

You just be nice to my man Lendale White. Didn't he rack up over 1,100 yards last season. More than Reggie Bush.

[phenomenal_waffles]

lol, Sporting News is so high on him. They think he's as good, if not better than Gholston.

[Drumsteroo]

There were similar concerns about Alex Brown coming out, he slid to RD4 and has been pretty solid so far. He wasnt out of shape, but had work ethic questions.

The Sporting News draft mag is a joke.

That's true. They are really bad writers who know nothing.
