C. I think that, if true, the rumors of his poor attitude and diva-like personality drove his draft stock WAY the heck down.
D. I think that the media thinking they know better than the NFL professionals about the player potential of anyone is fraught with peril and listening to them is silly.
E. I think the prank call sucked. Life is too short to go out of your way to intentionally cause pain to someone else.
F. I think that he was probably drafted a bit low for the performance he showed in college but that it was modified by the attitude he also allegedly showed.
G. I think that, if he can be healthy with how he channels all the negativity around his draft status, that he could play with a good chip on his shoulder and show all his doubters that they were wrong. However, the general curse that surrounds all thing CLE football will probably not allow that to happen.

I was going to say he may be able to use this to motivate himself and personally I hope he does, I hope he proves them all wrong and hopefully a few rare honest media people will do the "I told you so" for him!
