The scoop: "He really scares me because he has major talent, but I also wonder if he's on his best behavior because it's a contract year for him. What happens when he signs his contract?" - NFC West scout on Washington DT Danny SheltonSources Tell Us: What we're hearing about top NFL prospects
The skinny: Shelton posted rare sack numbers this year as an interior rusher and is an outstanding athlete for a man his size. Scouts, however, are concerned with Shelton's personality and work ethic. More than one scout has said the previous coaching staff at Washington had issues with Shelton's surliness and selfishness. Shelton's weight has to be monitored in the pros, and he could stand to play with more consistent power, but big nose tackles who can cave pockets and pursue running backs from sideline to sideline are rare. Shelton's tape will ultimately tell the tale, but if there are worries about his character or work ethic, it could cost him spots in the draft.

Geezus H. Christ....the guy saw his brother shot in the chest and killed at age 18. I'm sure Danny was screwed up for years...anger, vitriol etc....and I'm sure Sark and his band of bro's did nothing to really help him out.
Bring in some adults....Danny matures a little and you get a gamer. -
It would be impossible for a 21 year old to possibly grow up a bit, get better coaching, have the light bulb go on, and turn into a better and more consistent player?
And maybe I'm really reaching (or twisting) here, but could it just be that Shelton knew that the previous staff was full of BS and had absolutely no problem telling them as much? -
-
Why anyone would seriously consider what our previous shitty staff says is beyond me.
-
I'm also hearing surliness doesn't bode well for DL
-
he'll be drafted, someone will be made out to be a genius in grabbing him
if only Petersen had as strong a track record putting out DL talent as Sark does
oh wait -
Maybe Tosh kept beating him at Madden?
Seriously, maybe coach and mentor the players instead of always throwing them under the bus? -
How the fuck did Peterman handle his edginess?????????????????????????????

The fuck?
How many 3.6 GPA student athletes have a work ethic problem?
Fuck Sark. -
Maybe the previous staff should be answering why Ivan's world-class conditioning program had Shelton gassed after 2 plays, and 1 year with grown ups in charge made a huge difference.
