There's a reason why some prospect fall, and this is one of them. Courtney Upshaw. Courtesy of profootballweekly. NFL evaluator: "The more Courtney Upshaw talked (in the interview process), the more I got scared. He has a lot of distractions in his life. There are a lot of concerns there. We need an edge guy, but we wouldn't touch him in the first (round). I'd have hesitations in the second where we're picking, after hearing him talk about grabbing his girlfriend by the hair." And here's what else they had to say about him. Alabama OLB Courtney Upshaw appeared out of shape and too lethargic going through drills at the NFL Scouting Combine, knocking over bags as he went through drills, getting called out by 49ers LB coach Jim Leavitt for his lack of urgency trotting onto the field and taking a long time to come out of his breaks. He does not look comfortable moving in reverse and would be best in a front that allows him to concentrate on rushing the passer. I'd be very surprised if we picked him in the second.
