and i'd say tackling and positioning should be just as important to him. i'm looking at myron rolle as a great fit. hopefully he slides down the board a couple rounds and we get the steal.

Yeah Myron Rolle (the Rhodes Scholar) is intriguing ... is he done with the school commitment at Oxford? Not sure I like the idea (like in hockey & baseball) of taking a kid then waiting a year, regardless of talent.

unfortunately for everybody i think antrel rolle will sign with the giants very soon.

its a bit sketchy on the legalities of taking the rhodes and his obligations but judging from his interviews i'm pretty sure rolle's schedule is completely devoted to football for the present. it seems as if his scholarship just allowed him to finish his schooling at oxford instead of florida state. (essentially studying abroad for his senior year) after his career in the league is over or when he's 30-34 years old he'd go to medical school and then become a neurosurgeon.

two semi recent articles about myron rolle.

Glad we passed then. Definitely not worth that imo.
