It will be interesting to hear his side of the story, to say the least. If this is true, it could raise huge character issues, and could affect his draft position more than a poor game against Alabama did.I can't run no more

Notre Dame has issued a statement which says on December 26 they were informed by Te'o and his family that he had been the victim of a hoax. This is going to be one weird story.
Notre Dame Statement: Manti Te’o
On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

If it turns out he's a dishonest ass, I don't think it would happen. To the best of my knowledge, TT has never drafted a character risk in the 1st 2 rounds of the draft.Originally posted by KYPack View PostYep, things got out of hand on these two gay boys.
Let's draft him. He'll fall like crazy in the draft after trying to float this "fairy tale".
Who cares if he's a crazy, gay, bullshit artist, can he play?I can't run no more

Teo's statement:
"This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her. To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating. It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life. I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been. In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was. Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft."

What a fool. He better work on a good story for the combine interviews, because everyone will ask about it.
But, in the end, some teams won't care. The draft all kinds of character risks every year. All they care about is if he can play.
EDIT - I see he already has a good start on his story. I typed this before seeing his "statement".

Sorry Manti but that doesn't explain your father, among other's explanations that you hung out with her.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostTeo's statement:

Ya, how does one have a "girlfriend" that he never met in person? Even if he was duped (which I have serious doubts about), he overplayed his hand with publicity about his "girlfriend", who would have been nothing more than an online acquaintance.Originally posted by Bossman641 View PostSorry Manti but that doesn't explain your father, among other's explanations that you hung out with her.
