The NFL combine
provides a great opportunity for all college and potential NFL athletes to
prove their ability to compete at the professional level. It also provides them
with the opportunity to correct the naysayers and clear up any misunderstandings
left in the fog of the media.
Manti Teo, considered as one of, if not the best middle
line-backer in college football has already taken full advantage of this
opportunity to address the press and clear up his name from the fiasco he was
involved with this past college football season. As a professional athlete, it
is crucial to express to potential teammates and coaches clarity, honesty, loyalty
and reliability. These are essential characteristics to all who compete at the
professional level.
Just ask Titus Young, the Saint Louis Rams former wide receiver
drafted in the first round. The Rams recently released him from their roster
while other teams have dismissed Young simply after running background checks
and getting to know him. Young has characteristic issues, proving a lack of
loyalty and diligence towards to a team. Having a good, proactive attitude is
crucial in attaining a future job. Manti Teo has a great opportunity to clear
up his name and start with a new clean slate on the professional level.
