WHAT?  You considered new information and re-evaluated your opinion?  Why on earth would you do that?

The process is supposed to be you hear about something, form an opinion, then read the facts, disregard any that don't fit your opinion, and if there aren't enough to support your opinion, then make some up.

damn you just summed up 80% of the whole website on accident

Nice attempt at throwing us off the scent by leaving a few grammar inaccuracies in there, but it's obvious he payed someone else to write this.

I kid because I love. XXOO ; ) 

He sealed someone else with pitch or tar to prevent leakage to get them to write it?!?

[SnowPanther]

He was pretty good with the Battlehawks, a good pick given the round.

Kenny Robinson has taken a circuitous route to the NFL. Entered NCAA transfer portal out of West Virginia last June. But then took a turn and was drafted by St. Louis of the XFL. 39th pick then. A fifth-round pick today.

Circuitous

 

I didn’t even know that was a word. I like it.

Not shying away from potential character issues I see.

Same character issues as Julius Peppers

For everyone saying character issues, am I missing something beyond just getting caught cheating in college?

Because if that's all of the "character" issues then drop that mess right now.  If you didn't cheat in school at some point you're an absolute liar. 

You’re not wrong...

For a 5th rounder this is an A+ pick. The Battlehawks were my adopted XFL team (haha) and this kid stood out on my TV

Use it to describe Roy if you'd like.

The kid made a mistake, accepted responsibility, took his punishment, and learned a lesson.  This is what maturity is all about.  We all make choices, some good and some bad, and it’s how we respond that molds character.  He thought his decision only hurt himself and found it had larger implications.  
The culture that Rhule is establishing is exactly what will help someone like him become leader instead of a follower.

Dude went to xfl rather than to oklahoma or bama in order to take care of his mom with cancer.  That IS character.

This guy really doesn’t have any character issues, but if other teams wanted to dock him for it along with him being in the XFL we’ll be happy to profit off it. Every guy we’ve drafted looks like a leader and tone setter.

Im a firm believer in the longer the draft, the more you need to focus on upside. This is a great upside pick along with fill a DB need.

Feels sooooo weird with these DB/safety/nickle picks.

I get it, and that's funny.

I mentioned in another thread that a common denominator of our picks was a desire to seek out contact and deliver a blow.

Now I see another:  Rhule's previously stated aim to help his players develop into the best men they could be.  That's a good goal in college, and throughout the game of life.
