2016 All Knucklehead Team

Happy NFL Draft Week!

It is that time to unveil my 2016 "All Knucklehead Team".  

The list consist of eligible NFL Draft prospects who have significant off the field concerns or even on the field knucklehead decisions.  This idea came from listening to Norm Hitzges show on KTCK AM 1310 in Dallas, home of the only radio station in the country that covers the draft pick by pick.

Unfortunately, this team has become increasingly less difficult to fill out each year thanks to colleges disregard for character in recruiting, the price of winning.  To their credit, the offensive line is consistently a struggle to fill out each year despite being the largest unit.

You can find each of my prior All Knucklehead teams going back to 2014 here.
