I just honestly feel he will end up like me, and a long list of other college players, who go pro in something other than sports. It is OK. Life is still worth living. Emmanuel has the prototypical size and build for a great pro, or college player for that matter. IMHO, it is not about the quality of his training either. He just doesn't have the feet or the agility to get leverage with any consistency. In other words, he is not a great athlete. When you watch film, frame by frame, and compare how quickly he gets off the mark compared to Attaochu, or how he changes direction and gets angles, it is totally different than JA. He rarely gets doubled or has a RB assigned to give him a chip because DCs know that their OT can handle him alone. The vast majority of his tackles, the ball carrier was steered into him. The only time I can remember him whipping somebody and making a play was in the UGAg game where he tackled Girly man for a loss on the edge. You may be right, but I would put my money on Dieke moving on in another profession. I would love love love to be proven wrong.</p></blockquote><p></p>
