i actually have some insider info pertaining to shembo and the draft regarding the STEELERS.....a psychiatrist i work w/ has an inside connection...he stated the Steelers were high on him and actually for ND's pro day, sent Joey Porter there to specifically work out/talk w/ shembo....this was the ONLY person they sent porter to check out....also Tomlin was there who also spoke w. him.............The issue regarding the alleged sexual incident was discussed and of concern...the owner doesn't play around w/ character issues unless ur the starting qb

mark it down if he isn't selected by another team before this, he will be selected in the fifth round 173rd overall as this is one of their compensation picks.....

That tweet is B.S...Guys who have done much worse get drafted all the time. Shembo will be a 6th round pick at worst.

I'm not a Steelers fan, but that would be AWESOME!

He was definitely the most Steeler-like play on the team last year

i spoke w/ him yesterday, he stated prince not visiting is actually POSITIVE...i wasn't sure why that would be but he stated that Joey porter was sent ONLY for him and must have gotten the answers or he showed enough...he said the steelers keep their cards close to the vest...he pointed out that the steelers had calvin pryor in which he stated they have NO interest in him but the ravens picking 2 picks later are...so its purely done to drive up their pick if other teams especially ravens feel they might be looking at taking pryor

You can only bring in so many players for visits so if they got what they wanted then makes sense not to bring him in especially since he is likely a late round pick.

If I was a team in this deep draft I would be looking to trade down to accumulate picks. I think a few teams always bring in a player or they want just to drive up the price.

Drafted by Falcons. Shame ESPN just discussed the Seeburg incident in at least a somewhat misleading fashion for a couple mins before break without discussing anything else about Shembo. Showed a video and talked about his football ability, described as one dimensional, following the break.

That's why I watch NFL network. Mayock did nothing but praise him and talk about how all his teammates thought he was the hardest worker. No mention of the Seeburg incident.

If ESPN wants to discuss off-the-field incidents, fine. There's a place for that. But then they need to get off Lewan's dick and discuss how he's a low life and discuss all the positive drug tests that just showed up, etc. They loved that Seeburg incident.

First time watching the draft on NFL network, but it seems like they're much more focused on the football and less on the entertainment value. It's probably more boring, but if you want to avoid that kind of stuff, I recommend NFL network.

About 10 picks before Micheal Sam was picked, espn really turned up the drama on his situation. They talked for 5 minutes about him coming out before the draft & him being the first sec Defensive Player of the Year not to be drafted in the first round. Then, on of the idiots on there said he wished people would focus only on Micheal Sam the football player, not Micheal Sam the gay football player. I had to laugh because that's what they had been doing for 5 minutes straight! Then, the same guy started back talking about his not going already because of his sexual preference. Anyway, after 15 or 20 minutes of that crap, he gets drafted & espn showed him crying with his, I am guessing, boyfriend. They showed the same clip, him getting " the call" & crying while his boyfriend held him. Talk about playing it up on someone's personal expense, espn stooped to a new low in my opinion.

Heck, espn just showed the clip again & they are showing boxing!


On a side note, it is not up to me to try & dictate this, or any, mans life. Therefore, I have no problem with him playing in the NFL. I am not a homosexual, but 2 of my closest friends are. I have never wanted to see or know anything about their ultra personal stuff, nor have they with me.

Here is to the people that pan ESPN for their obvious hypocrisy, and then contribute to the ratings booms and record profits every time that network panders to the viewers salacious interests!

He's built better for it than outside, though his biggest strength always seemed to be as an edge rusher.

Sliding him inside and Williams on the outside would've made a lot of sense last year now that I think about it. Oh well.

Yeah but you don't want your best edge rusher learning a new position that requires him to cover in space. We experimented with him at DOG for a year and it went just okay.

I get what you're saying. I just think that lineup would have been a better option in terms of athleticism and ability to cover and generating a pass rush.

Athletically, I agree. His numbers at the combine were better than Michael Sam's. But I'm not sure his football IQ was up to being a 3-4 ILB in Diaco's scheme. Lots of moving parts that he wasn't accustomed to. And he wasn't a great run stuffer or great in coverage, a hallmark of an above average ILB. Then again, maybe he would have adapted to that if he had enough time?

4-3 MLB? I think he could do okay depending on the scheme. Again, with enough time he could be a good one.

Unfortunately he didn't have the time at ND to devote to the ILB position. Classic case of having to go to class.
