After all the hullabaloo about Manti Te'O having a "fake" girlfriend. And, in my mind the media harassment that he has underwent. He showed up to the combine.....To not show up at the combine. With a 40yd dash speed of 4.82 seconds; he really should have been faster to erase doubts about his abilities. In some respect this lack of speed and, effort has caused major concerns for teams that are near the top of the draft. He will absolutely get drafted and, should. However, he really hurt his stock. But, most of all he really, really hurt his stock when he didn't man-up to the fact that he was slow. Don't bring excuses or, that trash that you ran a 4.5 sec. 40yd dash yesterday. We don't care. If you can't show up at the combine. Maybe like Jim Rome said "You can't show up in the 4th quarter."
