08:02 AM ET 02.19 | The spotlight is warming up for Manti Te'o again. When the NFL's scouting combine gets underway in Indianapolis on Wednesday, [Te'o] figures to be the center of attention for reasons few could have imagined a month and a half ago when the college football season came to a close. In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY Sports on Monday afternoon, the former Notre Dame linebacker confided that he doesn't believe his now infamous scandal involving a fake online girlfriend will affect his stock in the April 25-27 draft. The Heisman Trophy runner-up's belief that he remains a first-round pick may be put to the test under the intense scrutiny he is about to face from 32 team executives during 15-minute interview sessions beginning Wednesday night.

The scandal won't...
That Alabama game will.

Aside from being dumb as a doorknob, he's an average LB at best, IMO. This was on the college level against scrub opponents. The embarassing performance in the Championship game against Alabama was a sign of things to come for him.

If and a big "if" he has the best combine ever, he will go in the second round. He was horrible in the N.C. game.
