It’s always comical how stuff like that comes out right before the draft. I know some pro teams will want to tarnish players rep so they can scoop them up for a bargain. I suspect that is the case and was surprised Hubbs said anything, even if it was vague. However, I don’t think he would say anything at all without some evidence.

I mean maybe I’ve met a lot of players. Some of course you can tell had no time for the fans, kids or anyone else. JPJ wasn’t like that and it’s super easy to not put time in with kids after a game where you played your behind off. Just my opinion though through very limited interactions. Article does seem to be grasping at a lot of little stuff though to make this kind of argument.

When that interview dropped on here I posted how odd it was to me for someone to be video interviewed and wear earphones. Wasn’t a popular post and I got several negative responses to it? Still don’t understand how that wouldn’t be taken as disrespectful behavior but what do I know. To me it’s not an indicator of him as a person, just an odd thing that I’ve never seen anyone do before.

Maybe there is truth to it somewhere maybe not. The ticket thing and DSL isn’t something that I am too concerned with. How many of us forgot to do something or thought it was taken care of by someone else when we were young or heck even now?
The lack of snaps a few times made me think that he had a silent suspension or was in the dog house and missing meetings or being late will definitely earn that punishment. But, that is just conjecture and I wouldn’t mess with someone’s livelihood by putting some speculation out there like that.
This report sounds like someone trying to push him down the order. I don’t think he is an NFL every down rusher but he could be a great Elephant and a good team could be poisoning the well to pick him up and designate an older player for release

Definite character issues.

I have it on good authority that he prefers Superman to Batman. 😬

Bad enough to drop out of the first round? https://atozsports.com/nashville/vo...s-pearce-nfl-draft-boards-character-concerns/

I for one have never heard anything bad said about the kid, period. He had the one traffic stop but nothing else. No twitter fingers, no demands for money or threats of portalling. It just feels like a hatchet job by some reporter citing unnamed sources with no substantiating facts. Then again that seems to be a winning combo these days.

Most college students have character issues… If some of you boomers knew what went on on campus your heads would explode.

Didn't read through the thread, but I just want to say that A to Z sports has been a helleva Negative Nancy for a couple months now. Never see positive things from them really.

So I stopped reading their opinions....

Not that I'm opposed to alternate views, but in my mind they are doing this BS for clicks. F em.

No he doesn’t. Character has to do with getting into trouble and he’s never been in trouble! He hates dealing with the media and talking to people.

The guy was attentive and answered every question to the best of his ability and you somehow came to that conclusion based on something he was wearing

There aren’t many choir boys in the NFL so there would have to be real concerns for him to drop. It seems most likely this was leaked by a team last in the first round so they can grab an elite pash rusher

I saw they had him going to Washington at the end of the 1st.

All people have character issues. But they are talking about issues that could push one of the top 3 edge rushers out of the first round it would have to be serious and I am pretty sure we'd have gotten a whiff of that after 3 years if it were true? The more I think about it I think its a clickbait article.

That's the thing the only thing out there there is that one time getting pulled over and that's a big fat nothing burger. It seems crazy to me someone can just make a random statement like that with no real backup and it could negatively affect this kids draft stock. This is the world of social media these days.

The question is, can his frame add that much. He's not got the biggest frame by NFL standards

He is not a small guy. He is 6-5 and should easily be able to carry 260 without losing much if any speed. Heck, he might gain some functional speed. The extra strength would allow him to fight through blocks better and develop some power moves.

He is lacking in communication skills. "You feel me" won't go well in the NFL Team interviews.

This the problem lies in his inability to talk to the media etc. All he wants to do is play football.If he didn’t have this problem he could market himself into making more dollars.

I’ll probably calm down and delete this, but I can tell you for a fact that JP - like all humans - may have some issues, but being of great character isn’t one of them.

Click-bait media - like AtoZ isn’t, nor has it ever been, any sort of credible actual journalism.
If people would simply quit clicking their crap - (and posting it on here - especially the authors and those associated with them- ) it would go away.
