One of Lynch's issues is his weight. He was listed at just 244 pounds by USF at the beginning of this season (weighed 249 at pro day), and he attributed his lack of weight to his use of Adderall:
As of now, he's been projected as a Day 2 or early Day 3 pick. The Bengals probably shouldn't consider him until late in the third round
He said at the combine everyone asked two things, why he transferred out of ND, and why he lost weight. He said there was no other reason than his girlfriend at the time, who he ended up marrying and then, as he told us, got a divorce a couple months ago. He's tweeted recent pictures with her though, so I believe they're still together.
I don't think he is even on our board
If I were an NFL personnel guy, I'm questioning him hard on that one. I mean it's Notre Dame, he was a freshman all American and left. And with line-mates Luis Nix and Stephon Tuitt next to him, he'd be a first rounder with 3 years in game experience. instead he had just two and I don't think he's going in the top 3 rounds. He's just been one of those guys who makes you say. "it's always something with him
In his one season here, it was always something. Taggart benched him for the first quarter of a game for violation of team rules, he also benched him when he had back to back boneheaded penalties, then Lynch proceeded to sit at the end of the bench for a good few minutes.
The one time he spoke to the media during the season, was after the Bulls dropped to 2-8 and were heading into the UCF game. He said "UCF is a good team but USF is a great team" . We were all kind of dumbfounded. USF almost beat them though. He's really something else.
