I hope nobody drafts this piece of trash

Colt Lyerla said some controversial things last year about the Sandy Hook shootings | ProFootballTalk

He sounds like he is unstable and a risk. And an asshole. I definitely don't want to see him in purple, and I wouldn't be sad at all if he never plays a single snap in the NFL.

I saw a couple of videos that people might have shown him to make him think it was fake or a lie.
REAL PROOF! SANDY HOOK SHOOTING WAS FAKE!!! TOTALLY STAGED!!! - YouTube
8:45 min.
I don't believe it but I can see how someone intelligent could buy it all.

Sandy Hook was clearly a false flag...that's why they bulldozed the place.

I was looking for a reason he may have said such things. My conclusion is he is one big dumb ass.
Whoever invited him to the combine maybe just as stupid. Blackball him and his agent.

Really, blackball a man for exercising his right of freedom of speech. How bout we blackball all the sheeple who believe everything that idiot box in ur living room is telling you. If you think the mainstream media tells any truth. Then I have some oceanfront property for ya in Nevada. Before you criticize someone for what they say, study the subject for yourself. Lots of fishy things about Sandy Hook and many other things.

Look ... I am not a conspiracy idiot. It is clear that some people need to occupy their time with craziness instead of the facts. Sandy Hook was a tragedy and a horrible thing that happened ... BUT

This is just a dumb kid. He is not necessarily a bad person (he might be, but this doesn't make him one 100%). He might just be stupid. I don't see this as a red flag. There are plenty of idiots out there that believe crap like this.

Sorry, his comments are an insight to the individual. If a Team considers more than on field performance…they are most certainly in scope for an evaluation of the person.

So, I hire lots of people, that make lots of money…not bragging at all, trying to make a point. I guarantee that I would ask WTF the candidate was thinking, what he/she meant, and I would explore their mindset for said comments.

Frankly, the comments this kid made are insulting, insensitive, and absurd…IMO. That said, I would give him the opportunity, in an interview, to explain.

So, IMHO, flagging questionable (IN the judgment of the interviewer) tweets, published comments, Facebook posts, blah, blah, blah, it is not, by any means, out of bounds to ask about. Put it out there, I can see it, I'm asking if I'm hiring…

Colt Lyerla is a beast on the field though!

As a player he reminds me very much of Aaron Hernandez, ironically, so does he off the field.

What he said was insensitive, he has done cocaine, and has had his driver's license suspended. Because of his extreme red flags on off-field issues, I would like to see the Vikings use no later than a 6th round pick on him.

With that being said; talent wise, Lyerla is a second rounder. His potential is through the roof and he's one of the most talented tight ends in this draft. Compared to Hernandez, he has similar build, speed, agility, instincts, hands, and toughness. He even carried the ball out of the backfield a few times.

Will he ever be involved in a shooting (as opposed to talking about one)... we don't know, but I'd definitely take my chances late in Day 3, even considering how good the Vikings' TE situation is.
