According to NFL Media analyst Lance Zierlein, one of the prospects who has hurt his stock the most in interviews with teams is Miami tight end Clive Walford.

"He acted like he was doing us a favor by even talking to us," one NFL tight end coach told Zierlein. "We asked about an issue he had and he got ****y."

Walford was one of the players who appeared to have shot up draft boards across the league after a good performance at the Senior Bowl, but he has slid backward ever since thanks to his injury history and bad attitude in interviews at both the NFL Scouting Combine and during private visits with teams.

Its funny how these nfl scouts act like they care so much about character its all a show. Clive will be the first tight end off the board in the nfl its about wins and losses that's it. Everyone is trying to keep there job as long as Clive could run jump and catch hes gonna be on an nfl roster.
 
Eh, I wouldn't look into it. If the te coach wouldn't even say what it was. see Jeff Ireland
 
It's adorable how NFL teams pretend like anything besides whether or not you can play matters to them. If Aaron Hernandez broke out of jail tonight, some team would be announcing the signing of previously unknown free agent TE "Darrin Fernandez" tomorrow. Your ego is too big, unless you're too deferential then you're beta and don't "have that dog" inside you.

You're not going to sign a guy because of how he acts in interviews? Cool. You keep Mark Ingram, and I'll keep Marshawn Lynch.

Also some teams that want a player actually talk him down to try and scare off competition. .. But I still don't like hearing anything bad about Canes attitudes. Seantrel got clobbered for that last year. Hope Clive can overcome any misperceptions.

Yeah, what injury history? I guess the bowl game he missed?

It's all a dog and pony show, whatever that means. Dolphins included, look at all the teams in the NFL that have been bad and made not wise draft picks for 7-10 years? Just because they with a pro team does not mean they good at their job or that we should be listening to them. Honestly speaking we could all be middle of the pack GM's if given the opportunity. Picking players of need is not rocket science although all the discussions and speculation complicates things.

Word is, when the question comes about why the team was only 6-7... Walford has tried to defend Golden, and that $h%T don't make sense....

I call BS here and the draft just can't come soon enough to end this crap. This is a horrible TE class & Walford might be the best one in it so his stock is gonna be high regardless of what he says in interviews. 99% chance that this is a bogus report being fed to Zierlein by some team that really wants Walford to drop to their draft slot. That's the motive/incentive behind most of these nitpicking reports in the weeks leading up to the draft.

Bingo. HighSeas is speaking truth here.
 
You can't fix stupid if this is true and again if true, the people getting him ready for the draft did a poor job of getting him ready.

Either way, he's a player and will get paid if he continues performing at the next level. Being a good player is far more important than being a well liked nice guy.
