Notre Dame LB Manti Te'o Will Speak Saturday At NFL Scouting Combine

Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o will speak with the media Saturday at the NFL Scouting Combine, NFL.com's Gil Brandt reported.

Te'o and Brandt had dinner together Friday night, and Brandt said Te'o seemed "very upbeat" and "looks ready to face press, circus that will come with it." Te'o also said he would do all of the workouts.

Te'o has only granted a couple of interviews since he acknowledged falling in love with a nonexistent woman invented by another man who insists the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy was unaware of the scam during the online relationship.

Te'o is certain to face a lot of questions from teams wanting to know more about how he was drawn into the bizarre hoax that made national headlines.

Brandt said Te'o is undecided about attending the 2013 NFL Draft in April.

he should be totally honest and maybe someone will still take him in the first round.

 

Te'o's people will field questions...ask away.

 

This should be interesting.

 

Here is his GF crying tears of joy and being proud her man is telling the truth.....

 

He is in the seat next to her.

 

Looks like he brought a coat...

 

Well it's 28 degrees in Indy right now. It's a little chilly for someone who is from SoCal.

 

Is this going to turn into a Tebow situation where no matter where he ends up, it's such a media distraction that it detracts from the team?

 

Probably. I just hope Jerry doesn't take him at 18.

 

Yeah, I was ready to take him in the top 10 six months ago.

 

Jerry's dumb but not that dumb....I hope.

 

I wouldn't put it past him. When it comes to the draft, Jerry prefers flash over need.

 

I think JJ has a man crush on Manti. Last night, one of the local TV stations reported that Jerry spent a long time yesterday talking to Manti.

 

probably wants him to hook him up.

 

I will stomp kittens with my bare feet if Jerry does this.. :icon_evil:

If Jerry doesn't take an OLineman or a Dlineman with the first pick it will ruin my summer.

 

When it comes to the draft, when has Jerry ever done the right thing? Get ready to stomp.
