What exactly was the issue with the suspension? I'm really worried about drafting idiots that early!

He got a loaner car while his was repaired, the NCAA felt that he kept the loaner car for an excessive amount of time before turning it back in, thus citing it as an unapproved benefit of sorts.

Right now this is the guy I want for our team. Him in a zone blocking scheme would be so... delicious

The nice thing is that both Tunsil and Stanley are perfect fits in a zone blocking run scheme and both are very good pass blockers, tackles that are able to bend well at the knees and hold their own against speed rushers in particular. Highly athletic linemen that project out to be franchise left tackles in the NFL.

Stanley is a bit better as a pass blocker but not nearly as good of a run blocker as Tunsil. One of the main questions about Stanley is his demeanor in terms of him being too passive, not always playing through the whistle, not having a real mean streak in him, something that he has admitted he is trying to work on.

Tunsil plays mean and aggressive, very feisty out on the field but has had injury issues.

I can't stand the NCAA. They make tons of money off these kids and they suspend the kid for using the loaner car for "excessive amount of time". Such idiots!!

Look bro, that Bugatti might have been a little garish but it was fairly equivalent to his 1998 Dodge Neon.
