Myron Rolle should be our new safety

I like him but…

Is he’s a year out of football while he went to Oxford for his Rhode’s Scholarship.

He continued to workout and train with the rugby team (though he didn’t play rugby).

Teams are just worried because he wants to be a neurosurgeon when he is done with football, and teams feel like he “deserted” FSU and isn’t committed to football.

Dude is going to be a great safety. Teams just need to get over the fact that he decided to actually follow up on his academics and take the once in a lifetime opportunity to be a Rhodes Scholar.

both on the field and off. Sometimes people are to smart for their own good.

That’s why I say hands off and leave him for the Jets lol. Funny story but apparently in the interview with Tampa he was asked how he felt about deserting his team. Dude was a freaking Rhodes scholar with the blessing of his teammates. Seriously warped society we live in where a kid wants to be the best he can be and gets punished for it. Guess some teams would rather have a guy who is 100% football 100% of the time. Well when he isn’t out drinking or abusing women.

Sorry hit a nerve, but yes this kid is good. great pick for anyone (hope it ain’t you guys though), in the later rounds.

I’ve seen multiple interviews with him and he has a great attitude. I’m not sold on his playmaking ability but the guy’s smart enough to learn. He’s a freaking genious. I do think he would make a better SS than a FS though.

i bet a team bites on his potential and snags him in the 3rd

I am currently a student at FSU and have watched Myron Rolle play through his entire college career. I think it was Mickey Andrews who said that if Myron would prepare as hard for football that he does for his schoolwork he would have been a great player. Not to take anything away from Myron of course because he was a very solid player but he was not a playmaker. A lot of you are saying that you want a playmaker and Rolle most certainly was not one at FSU. However I got to thinking…

Rolle played a very safe game, he was very good in coverage and a physical player. He just seemed to always be around the ball. He played the rover position while at FSU and I think that he would fit SS in the NFL perfectly. But he only had 1 career interception. I think that was due to the fact that opposing teams tried to stay away from where he was on the field. I think he would be worth the pick if he is available when our selection comes in the 3rd round. He has all the tools you ask for… 6’2’’ 218 lbs very good in coverage, a physical tackler, and extremely intelligent. I think that now that he has nothing else to worry about and he can devote his full attention to football he will make a big stride in his on field performance.

Id say this is probably one of Rolle’s best games in his college career.

and came away with the same sentiment exactly. He says his fav team is the eagles, I have a feeling he will go there…. but I would love to have his intelligence on our team so he can help our coaches outsmart the pats n jets…plus he’s a south jersey guy so you can’t hate on that either..

i dont think youll want to draft any player from either secondary lol
