Well, not to be negative. I want Mario to succeed as much as the next Texans fan. But I just want to ask that now that we've drafted him and seen him in some minicamps, are there any reasons why Mario will bust at the moment? Without seeing him play a game, I can only say 2 reasons why he won't. 1) He's an athletic freak of nature. 2) He's shown very good character. That alone should be well enough, but you never know what's going to happen. And I can't think of any reasons right now why he wouldn't. I have heard nothing but good things from other players since he's been in Houston.
But what worries me are past sure-fire DE picks a la Courtney Brown. WTF happened to him and other DEs? Courney Brown had to be incredibly physically gifted to be picked #1 right? Unfortunately, I haven't followed football long enough to have any clue to what happened to previous busted draft picks. I have yet to read any article on why Mario will bust like other top drafted DEs other than the typical "Why didn't you pick Reggie" articles.
