Really an unusual player. From a Kentucky Expert "Long story short -- injury, disappointing junior season, unique player in a run-stuffer body with a pass-rush first skill set, and poor athletic testing for a prospect whose movement skills need to be the reason he succeeds in the NFL. Deone Walker is not a cookie cutter prospect and will need some coaching/scheme creativity to max out. All of those things added up to create a draft fall. He was good testing away from not falling out of the second round but the poor junior season is ultimately what started this fall." Also seems to be lots of concern with his effort.
Rooting for him. Hope he does well...but even on the Kentucky side they didn't seem to love him.
