Apparently he’s a cocky little prick who doesn’t care about run defense and has an extremely entitled attitude.
Going to so many different schools in HS and college doesn’t help. The scouts take calling him a mercenary seem like consensus.

This is where you know some people are full of shit entirely. His run defense is really quite good. If he didn't give a shit about it, he'd be more like Shemar Stewart against the run.
I bet there are some character flags there regarding maturity and entitlement but some of this goes way too far into the BS category at this point.
I find it difficult to believe he's going to completely fall out of round 1 for it given the bullshit teams have drafted in the past, and in the top 10 at that. This is a player that should probably go #3 to New York. All it takes is one team to think he'll be fine in their culture and he's coming off the board very early.
There was a ton of chatter about the same with Jermaine Johnson and he was a far less talented prospect. Still ended up going in round 1 at #26.
