Can Gregory play at current weight?

[Wrangler87]

If I remember correctly, the NFL Network said that Gregory was late for a pre draft meeting with one NFL team and completely didn't show up to a meeting with another team. That's what worries me more than anything...

I seem to remember reading he missed a flight once and gave notice to the other visits he missed. I honestly do not think he is a bad person, he has some mental problems that need to get addressed though.

I agree, he isn't a bad person but 31 teams past on him for a reason. Dropping all the way to 60 with his talent level is troublesome. Something is really off with this poor guy. He appears to be mentally weak and that is dangerous.

He missed 1 flight and cancelled two other meetings because of time restraints.

It was a pretty major drop, but a lot of teams are simply not equipped to or don't want to deal with extra baggage. Failed drug screens put the player in jeopardy as far as reliability and couple that with that he is difficult to figure out, most just don't have time for that. Dallas apparently does not mind trying to be a halfway house. They just have to maintain the balance.

They are right about at the limit where they can handle the issues and distractions. There does seem to be a difference between this and the Pacman Jones/Tank Johnson/Terrell Owens cocktail as most do not seem to be "bad people" but there is a lot of maintenance and babysitting required.

Yeah, here's a link. It didn't get in to too many details. Just that it rubbed some teams wrong.

I agree with you. I just hope they can get him figured out but if he is mentally sick, it will be a bigger task than they can handle IMO. We should have cautious optimism about this guy, not act like we have won the lottery.

They seemed to get decent results out of Demetrius Underwood for a short period of time. I get the skepticism though. Most teams can't handle psychological problems, but Dallas does have a history with dealing with it.

If we can handle/help him.. then he could be an awesome addition around here. I'm cautiously optimistic. Don't feel like we won the lottery or anything but can't deny this kid does have talent. Talent wise I feel better about him than Jones from what I have seen on film.
