How is a dude who hasn't even signed with an NFL team yet a HOF candidate?

Thank you SD I was calling Urlacher a HOF candidate and making a comparison with this guy and Urlacher.

Also, I went to HS with Tyler and graduated with his brother. He had always been a very very gifted athlete but had issues with work ethic, attitude, etc... in hs. He was greatly recruited by UNI but didn't get in due to grades (from what I hear). It took a ton of help from a community college teacher his senior year of hs, and summer after, to get into USD. It seems he got things turned around, which is great for him.

I know he just got engaged as well......to a lady that is far from unattractive

I think this guy could end up being the next Urlacher he has the necessary athleticism like the former Chicago Bear MLB did in his playing days.

Looking at the NFL.com analysis at http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/tyl ... id=2543857" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and wondering why it matters that a linebacker prospect has small hands. They have that listed as a weakness. I can understand if you're a running back or a wide receiver. But why would small hands be listed among "weaknesses" for a linebacker? I guess theoretically there could be scenarios in which large, strong hands would allow somebody to hang on for a tackle. But I don't think scenarios in which having small hands makes the difference between making a tackle or not are going to be too common.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

The combine is funny that way, if you are not a "top guy" they will find all sorts of things wrong with you, while if you are a "top guy" they will dismiss the bad as not important. Reminds me of the 40 times. If Clowney would have run a slower 40 time everyone would be saying "40 times aren't that important" but when he does well they all go "SEE... that is why he is the top pick"
