[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 844875"] Well, maybe he's not unintelligent, just a slow processor, a grinder. Maybe he got through 12 questions and left the rest blank. My experience, though admittedly quite dated, is even at an elite institution if you're taking squishy liberal arts courses, scout out the "gut" courses, show up to class and do the work, even if not of any particular quality, you'll get a "gentlemen's B". If you take good notes and parrot back to the professor in a paper what he lectured you have a good shot at an A. It is possible to grind your way to a decent GPA, especially if the major is Pro Athlete Prospect with a minor in General Studies. I don't know what Gary's major was, but that Wonderlic would indicate it wasn't wasn't mathematics. I see you put a smily face in there, but seriously I don't care what the anti-Gary ranks may think. He's a projection on evident traits. That there are possible reasons he does not reach those projections is evident. On balance, I remain liking this pick. There's a high ceiling and the floor is not that low. By all accounts he's a good citizen and a hard worker. I expect grinding progress. Keep in mind that few edge rushers, like WRs, typically do all that well in rookie seasons. What you look for is incremental progression. As it stands, his one sack and one QB hit on limited snaps is as or more productive than Miller/Chubb's combined zero sacks and three QB hits (all Chubb's) over three games, playing under Fangio, a defensive "genius".
