Lawrence Timmons 101...

As the Steelers 2007 1st rounder, Lawrence Timmons has already received a somewhat requisite amount of scrutiny, but probably less than he would if certain circumstances permitted. Still, seeing as how the draft was 3 months ago, I think it's only fair to ask ourselves at this point, what do we know about the guy as a Steeler so far?

Here's a few things I have gathered:

1. Has tender "groin" region:
Notice, nowhere does it indicate what type of genitalia he's supporting...(joking here guys, don't kill me)

2. Does not make healthy choices:
But I'll bet he'd wear a helmet (not dropping any names...)

3. Is represented by total dickhead:
But yet got a 5-year deal done in time to make the first day of training camp...crazy.

4. Probably won't, but COULD fill the shoes left vacant by Joey Porter THIS season:
Operative word = Could...at least competing to. I still contend they should ease him in slowly. Let him cut his teeth on special teams and in certain circumstantial game situations.

5. COULD move inside:
I understand the reasoning behind it (that we're thinner at ILB than OLB), but wouldn't hold my breath on this one...we want this ravenous beast eating up QBs. Still, anything is possible.
And that my friends is about it. I'm sure there's more, but I haven't heard or seen any of it.

If you've got anything to add I'd love to hear it. Has anyone been to training camp (not that you would've seen Timmons in action, but)? Done any creative digging on this here interweb?
