ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on SportsCenter Wednesday morning that Fairley has exhibited irresponsible decision making throughout the pre-draft process. Fairley missed his flight to Indianapolis for February’s Scouting Combine, skipped a meeting with a team there, and was also late to a team meeting at Auburn’s Pro Day.
We suppose it’s for all the above reasons that NFL teams are “privately comparing” Fairley to Albert Haynesworth.
"You've got to tread lightly with him because, as good as he looks on film, he could be a one-year wonder," said one AFC GM. "It's not like Suh, who dominated for a couple of years and you had no doubts whatsoever about." Haynesworth comparisons would seem to be too far over the top, but teams worry about Fairley's snap-to-snap effort on the field and maturity and work ethic off it.
