He really helped his stock at the Senior Bowl as well. BUT! He has attitude issues, maybe even major attitude issues. He was well known at Boston College to take plays off. He is played phenomenally Senior Bowl week, but he was playing for draft position and, thus, millions of dollars that he wouldn't be making if not for his efforts that one week. What is going to happen once he gets paid???Also, he redshirted one year due to academic issues. I personally don't put much stock into this for two reasons. First, Boston College's academic expectations for their athletes are as high as any university outside of the Ivy League and Stanford. Second, he's a defensive tackle. I sometimes wonder if Pat Williams can even spell defensive tackle and he is the best run stuffer in the business.Bottom line: Raji is a major boom or bust pick no matter where he goes. He's a great fit in a 3-4, so if the Packers get him and he works like an NFL player should they will be getting a great pick. But if he busts they could be getting the Derrick Colman of defensive tackles. Even that could be worse, though. Say, for instance, getting another Justin Harrell.</blockquote>
