[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1033197, member: 12283"] Some other random thoughts: -Often in the NFL it's the *person* who succeeds or busts, not the prospect. Obviously you have to be talented and being more talented helps tremendously, but talented guys who lack commitment or maturity or intelligence often fail. This is an aspect of the process that we have very limited exposure to, but it's the reason why teams are trying to get around these players as much as possible. Listening to Morgan, he sounds very intelligent and mature. His OC at Arizona called him a fantastic role model within the program. He's put on 60 pounds of good weight while in Tuscon, which is no easy feat. He also played at a high level coming off an ACL repair, which says a lot about how he attacked his rehab. -A common pattern in the NFL is that players come back ~10-12 months after an ACL tear, but they don't get back to their peak for more like ~20-24 months.
