Official Colt Lyerla Thread

[woodbuck27]

Here's the article referenced in his bio.

I'm no psychologist (maybe it's as simple as a maturity issue but I don't think so) but it sounds like he may have a little social anxiety stemming from his childhood that he's sought escape from. I hope he continues to have a strong support network of peers because the attention/social demands and expectations are about to go up exponentially. I read somewhere (maybe here) that he's living with his trainer so that's the kind of structure he needs.

Hopefully ARod can get to him and take him under his wing because I think he has the kind of personality, self-control and personal command Lyerla could benefit from being around a lot. Maybe they have enough common interests to become close.

Woodson had issues in Oakland where he'd be up partying all night too that created a lot of his problems there. Then I think he found a good woman who produced some offspring and brought more meaning to his life.

It seems that there are some deeper personal issues he has to come to grips with (maybe he already has who knows) like not feeling like anyone was really there for him when he was a vulnerable child. Like Jolly, you worry about the periods away from the team support structure and he goes back to where he grew up and rekindle his past behaviors.

Unique combination of size, speed, tenacity and ability though. He's gonna be fun to root for. He'll make more money than he's ever been exposed to so hopefully it'll help make his life better. It'll definitely up the stakes in many ways. Here's hoping he responds.

Great post Vince.

I wonder how much the Packers actually know about him. I know the hype is that the research is endless and they turn over all the stones they can find.

But if it is an illness, there is likely a history associated with it that could extend well before college. I wonder if that kind of research is done?

To diagnose BPD it's necessary to have a close inspection of a persons familial upbringing / environmental background.

Was there a familial history of abuse? Was the individual severely neglected or otherwise abused physically/mentally/sexually.

Was the abusive parent (s) substance or alcohol dependent?

Often a person suffering alcohol abuse acts similar to someone with Borderline Personality Disorder.

A key element of BPD in my research/experience with people; is that the sufferer of BPD lives a highly anxious life and that does include Panic Attacks. To ever see someone suffer "a Panic Attack" is to never forget that horrid experience.

Our latest prospect at the TE position Colt Lyeria my be suffering alcohol and /or substance abuse at criticle times in his life and especially when he's needing to be most responsible.

This man needs extra attention to pass the test of becoming a Green Bay Packer TE; and Green Bay may be the BEST ticket to ride.

This must mean Jermichael Finley has all kinds of meaning in his life.

But not as much as Antonio Cromartie or Shawn Kemp.
