If this is proven to be true how much does his draft stock plummet I mean his character was one of the traits that made his stock so high. If that were to be completely tarnished he would seriously drop down the draft boards.?

I know you hate Notre Dame and Manti Te'o but Marchin'On just wait til we get all the facts before you lay down judgement this is obviously going to be investigated and put under the microscope by the NFL, media and the school. What judgement did I lay? "This is clearly a cover up. ND and Manti are both full of shit." You've already made your mind up, based on mainstream media when clearly all the facts haven't being presented yet, a lot have but not all of them. A lot of things added up this is now a conspiracy.

You believe they're in a homosexual relationship...? That's pretty out there, I read the article and a lot doesn't seem to add up. I'm on the fence at the moment...

The entire Lennay persona was so he could express his feelings for whatever guy was on the other end without the public getting suspicious or the entire Catholic community at ND turning on him. (IMO, but that seems completely logical.)

ND is denying everything. They are saying everything is false. If that isn't a coverup, Idk what is.

Actually Roarr I have to back up MO on that, cause thats what I had meant in my comment by "Something else getting out that he believed would ruin wreck his life"
Homosexuality has been in the NFL however it is only something that has been expressed after they leave the game. The morale in the locker room, the way they would be treated, and all the bad exposure they would get are all prime reasons to either A. Invent a GF or B. To have him act as one to throw off the public spot light. Furthermore since he is a member of the LDS church (mormon) it makes it that much more vital for his private life.

This could also explain (at least mentally) why Te'o struggled in the BCS game too if his mind was elsewhere and he was getting paranoid about this situation leaking out. Lol...it had absolutely nothing to do with this......Te'o and ND had never seen a team like Bama, or running backs like Bama's, especially paired with that OLine...and Te'o and ND couldn't stop it cause they didn't have the talent... not saying Te'o isn't good, cause he is, just not as good as everyone thought, and to blame it on this is absurd IMO

Getting away from the drama... How much you think this effects his draft stock, I think he's going to fall regardless of it being true or false.

Well, look at Burflict who had off the field trouble and what that did to him. Accountability is a huge part of teams trusting players out of the draft... I'd say he slides past the 3rd round at least.

He was notified this story would leak out in two days prior to the game. You don't think something like this would affect an athlete's mental state and thus make him play at an even poorer level than we are used to? If you think I blamed his BSC performance entirely on this, you misread my statement.
