Shawn Oakman found not guilty. Would you give him a chance?

[Centex]

Former Baylor standout defensive end Shawn Oakman was found not guilty today of rape.

Would you take a chance on him given our need at DE?

I always thought he was too stiff (yes I know) and overhyped anyway. But I'd love to hear what y'all think about this.

 

[KingintheNorth]

He needs to go the AAF and show he's focused on football and living right.

 

[eternaljester81]

No thank you. I'm tired of the PR issues.

 

[Risen Star]

No but not because of that, because I never liked him as a prospect from the get go.

 

[Hennessy_King]

yup. jourdan lewis was falsely accused of domestic violence. he was a first round talent. probably our 2nd best corner on the team.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

No thanks. He's been out of the game for how long now?

On top of the PR issues he could bring I don't think he was that great of an NFL prospect to begin with.

Lewis was never accused of anything as awful as rape. His was a DV case in which it turned out he hit his girlfriend with a pillow. Give Lewis some props- if you get mad enough at somebody to throw something, he picked the perfect object.

A shame a woman can ruin Oakman's possible career like she did. But no, I didn't like him as a prospect when he was at his best...who knows what type of shape n mindset he's in now.

I would sign him

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

He'd get a 6 game suspension to start his career if he were a Cowboy.

The same week we learn another lesson about signing talented knuckleheads to play DL, you want to sign another one?

 

[Section446]

If true, it's a shame that his professional career was ruined by this.

No. I don't. But I thought it would be an interesting topic.

 

[Hardline]

He's an athletic freak that never played like an athletic freak.

 

[TheCoolFan]

This didn't ruin his career...he just was never that good. Classic case of "Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane."

 

[RS12]

Should we give me a chance? I cant play either.

 

[Alexander]

Yeah, I think we have been down that dummy road. Not really interested to get into the enabling business any more.

 

[JW82]

He has the flexibility of a brick. Aside from being a prick. No thanks

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah I saw some mock drafts at one point having him in the 1st round.

 

[Questfor6]

Ditto, looked like Tarzan played like Jane.
