We all mostly heard about the night of drinking that dropped his draft stock, but this gives a much more detailed picture of Boone.

Its a good story that he has came so far and hopefully he can keep it going but I have my doubts of him holding up at guard.

Good stuff from Matt Barrows

Boone might be just the guy to pull this O-line into the next level. Like elite level

Good story. I hope he continues to impress.

I give him a pass on the drinking because he grew up in Cleveland. If you lived there, you would get drunk to ease the sorrow as well.

LOL... I've been there for work and hell yes this is true. It's always gray and depressing out there. Plus the beezy's are big and pasty.

your post proves why its not that much to worry about. Im sure he can stay focused during the grind of a football season. Its more the offseason i would be worried about
