The Tale of Te'o

LB Manti Te'o held an impromptu press conference at the Scouting Combine and attracted the largest group of reporters to talk to a player since Tim Tebow. Everyone wants to know about his make believe girlfriend and the controversy that surrounds it. Teams have asked him to tell them his version of the story. It's a tale that will never leave him.

It's interesting to note that his issue has drawn more attention than some of the the arrest records of other players. Criminal misconduct can't compete with a fictitious girlfriend. Some "experts" think that his stock will fall in the draft. He might have been better off with an arrest record.
