He's probably one of the best linebackers in the NFL. I still wish the Rams would have grabbed Troy Smith instead of burning their pick on Bradford, but it is what it is.

Good for him. I for one thought he stayed a year too long but it goes to show 4yrs doesn't hurt.

I actually thought that Hawk and Carpenter would be really good pros and Laurinaitis a bust, and it's been almost the complete opposite. Although it does seem like Hawk and Carpenter are starting to prove themselves.

I think Bradford is going to be a great, if not elite QB. Team definitely needs help (WR, OL) but they are improving.

I honestly thought he was going to suck in the league...and I thought AJ Hawk was gonna be a monster.

I think the trend of Ohio State tattoos by recent players is really cool. Glad to see Laurinaitis is doing well.

I mean Hawk had 100+ tackles his first two years he already proved himself.

Yea, but once they switched schemes, he kind of got lost.

As for Laurinaitis' tattoo, that might be the worst tat I've ever seen.

True that.

I'm kinda shocked AJ hasn't been an all-pro player, but he certainly can't be called a bust, even at the 5th pick, because he's been a good contributor.

Nai"ll Diggs was a good contributor.

Agree with this statement. The Browns wanted to move up to grab Hawk pretty bad.

Is it just me or does Little Animal look like he got into his dad's box of "Wheaties" in that photo? Dude is seriously jacked and is apparently on his way to the "gun" show.

It's not just you. He didn't look that big at Ohio State, which is why I thought he might end up a bust.

That "O" on his right bicep used to be the size of a Cheerio. :D

I thought he was pretty jacked at OSU, he just had a small head and neck that made him look smaller.

Looks like he has a buckeye and a 55 on either side of the tat with some silver bullets going through. Nice.
