Make the move as he did have the ability - Adam gotsis. Not paid at the moment but is in his senior year at Georgia tech and will go high in the 2016 NFL draft and be a multi millionaire.

Those guys can't play for us. Worth way too much to their colleges or employers for them to allow them to be mangled by some South Korean who can't tackle properly. He really wanted to though!
