I really liked him as an option, as long as the character stuff checked out.
Given that he was available this late, I'm guessing there were concerns. With that said, I don't mind gambling on the talent with a 7th-round flier. Hopefully this drop will be a wake-up call if it's a question of his character.

I was sort of wrong there. Though he did have some dumb stuff a few years ago. There were some medical questions on him. Have a feeling that was more the reason.
But if it checks out, we may have gotten a steal.

Penn State site's take on Walker...I know he was hurt so he couldn't workout at the combine, but even so, he's not a Round 7 guy. This could be a gift.
Thanks for sharing this!!

I’m all for taking the character and or injury risks late rounds!

It’s disrespectful and it’s a dick move (pun intended). I will take a little immaturity on the field, though, over some of the more concerning off the field stuff. Get this guy in our OL room and I think he will fit right in. A lot of us wanted to add a little nasty to this group… clearly not what any of us had in mind, but let’s not make big sweeping judgments from a 10 second clip.
