Anyone Remember Colt Lyerla?

I remember some folks here insisting we should draft him on day 2.

I'm guilty of this, they drafted Cyril Richardson, Randell Johnson and Seantrel Henderson instead, really dodged a bullet.

If someone could bump that thread, it would be a classic.

 

Normally if you can't make it in college, you're not going to make it in the real world.

I think in these situations someone with character issues can be worth the loss of a pick if it doesn't work out. A few of them were drafted again this year and always will be. Just because a team takes them (or a fan wants a team to take them) doesn't mean they saying that player is guaranteed to succeed. Just that at that point it becomes worth the gamble.

 

And as far as I remember, most were talking about 4th -7th round...but it's been awhile.

LOL, that's just up the road from me. I'd better watch out! If I run into a Colton Cayerla I will approach with caution.

 

.....sounds like a pretty intelligent fellow...............

 

Lyerla was two months into a six-month sentence for heroin possession.Lyerla now faces a second-degree felony charge for escaping custody and will be ineligible to return to a minimum-security facility.

Don't convicts usually sign with the Pats?

I think the Pats release convicts. The Bengals seems to sign them.

 

We'd just lose him the following year to the Patriots offer sheet.

Probably so.... but maybe we would get a comp pick out of it?
