Te'o, Steelers may be perfect couple

[Reg]

08:02 AM ET 02.18 | As the Steelers look toward a possible makeover on defense, it could begin with a new face. He fits one of their biggest needs. And he could be available at No. 17 when the Steelers make their first-round draft pick on April 25. If only there wasn't the asterisk beside the name of Manti Te'o that, in the aftermath of the recent revelation that the girlfriend he talked about for months was fictional, has raised considerable questions about the Notre Dame linebacker's previously unquestioned character and judgment. How well -- or how poorly -- Te'o begins to erase that asterisk will be one of the most-watched stories at the NFL Scouting Combine that begins this week in Indianapolis. And, no doubt, the Steelers will be among those watching.

Ugh. I have a bad feeling this is what's going to happen. I also have the bad feeling he'll be a complete bust.

REg.... I am afraid you are leaving yourself wide open for one liners with this post. I will refrain for now.

He will be better than that LB from Florida they once took...Richardson... who made one tackle in his career. Also picked around No. 17.
I remember a Steeler coach, when told that Richardson's production was something like $20 million per tackle, quipped, "Yeah, but it was a big stop!"

I wouldn't mind the Giants taking him with a second

You're going way back on that one. Huey Richardson was drafted when I was 2 years old.
