[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think it was  because his coach Urban Meyer did not want him back on the team  and suggested he try to get drafted by the NFL.

I mean probably, but why?

my husband claimed that Meyer warned the Pats NOT to draft him.  says he read it somewhere.

It feels like they all knew they had a ticking time bomb on their hands.[/quote]

I think so, too.  AH was the Patriots 4th round draft pick.  If you read the brother's book, it says that he and AH were waiting two (?) days and did not understand why AH was not yet drafted.  I believe he was drafted on the third or fourth day. They seemed oblivious that AH's behaviors could actually be a problem - this probably transpires when one grows up in a volatile and hostile home - that was their "normal".

Scouting reports listed AH's "maturity" (or a similar trait measure) as "low", and the Patriots were understandably apprehensive, but took AH on his word when AH was called into Kraft's office (promising that he wouldn't be a "problem", essentially).  The Patriots withheld singing bonuses contingent on AH's good behavior.  He was actually let go under "behavior unbecoming", which is an NFL standard, not a Patriots standard.

But yes, he was a ticking time bomb, which is would many feared. His hostile behaviors started when he was young, and only became worse. Of course, extreme CTE did not help. In addition, his dad had a criminal background, which derailed his own football dream years earlier, so (IMO) AH wanted to "prove" that he could be both a thug and an NFL superstar - he wanted to make his dad proud on both counts.

So many facets to the story, and kind of compelling, given that he had such talent, and the world seemingly in his hands at such a young age.  His mom was a piece of work.[/quote]
