On one hand it’s a pretty damn glowing review on his potential. Seems like some scouts really do believe he has 1st round potential this next year.

Very weird second paragraph on this here though. Almost makes it insinuate he has some character concerns. I hadn’t exactly heard of any issues like that beforehand.

Should acknowledge that this is from WalterFootball, who’s been known to talk out of his ass from time to time. But who knows. Just thought it was a little strange.

He reminds me of Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila the old Green Bay rush end. I don't know how Kabeer was on his diet or paying his bills was though.

You can ask Marcus Fizer about the importance of personal discipline in extending a pro sports career.

This is dumb and they need new sources.

I don't need to be an insider to know that:
- Will plays for Matt Campbell
- Will has played as many snaps as he can handle
- Matt Campbell isn't playing somebody all the snaps they can handle if they need a babysitter

And yes, dude has been academic all conference.

Pulled from his Iowa State bio. I'd guess being All-Academic is a pretty solid indicator he can figure out a way to handle his budget. How dumb is this....?
I'll say flatout I have no idea whether these concerns are justified or no, but purely in the hypothetical, college players have discipline imposed on them by their coaches. Pro players have a lot more freedom. But if someone is seen as uncoachable and out of control in their personal life, they soon find themselves out of the league. Look at guys like Ryan Leaf and Brian Bosworth.

If a guy has off field concers here, you usually hear those rumors. I've never heard a bad thing said about Will.
This is exactly my thinking. WalterFootball is known to talk out of his ass at times, so I could easily see this being BS. I don’t doubt the scouting part is genuine, but the second part of this does not mention any sources in the know from any scout.

All I've heard is that he's a great guy. Weird.

From Campbell's presser today:

"Nobody works harder at his craft. I was teasing our coaches Monday night, and man who is the guy that is still in the facility working on his craft? It’s Will."

I'll bet Will just forgot to pay his rent, and that's why he's at the practice facility late...smh

Walter football is a hack. He’s worth about as much as any individual rating site for talent evaluation, which is to say not much.
