Character counts in first round as several NFL draft prospects plummet

Timber. That was the sound of some tall trees falling in a hurry in the NFL draft as several top draft prospects plummeted due to character questions.
Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory fell out of the first round altogether after testing positive for marijuana at the NFL scouting combine and facing other lingering questions about his personality.LSU offensive tackle La'el Collins may go undrafted completely as police want to interview him in connection with a murder investigation of a pregnant woman who was his former girlfriend. Although Louisiana police say he's not a suspect in the crime, the specter of having an employee embroiled in a legal situation caused NFL teams to avoid him

That was funny. What NFL draft was the Sun watching?
Jameis Winston to Bucs with No. 1 pick
After months of intensive research, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers used the first overall draft pick Thursday night on Jameis Winston, who is hoping to "gain everyone's trust" despite his checkered past.
The Bucs drafted Winston to be their long-awaited franchise quarterback, an indication they don't believe a series of off-field incidents at Florida State will be a precursor to future behavior.
Winston's off-the-field incidents—which include an alleged rape in 2012, shoplifting, and behavior that drew a full-game suspension—raised concern among the teams who might draft him

I disagree.
I'm relieved that you aren't "worried" about Winston, whatever that means.
No, it says 'Character Counts in First Round as Several NFL Draft Prospects Plummet', and they did.
