I don't know Derek personally, I've never talked to him, and I all I know is what I've gathered from reading newspapers and internet "chatter," so I won't "hate" on him. However, this part in bold, is where you and I will have to strongly disagree. At NCSU, he was AT BEST an average offensive tackle. Maybe, it was just me, but he seemed very soft. After talking crap about tOSU and calling that game in '04 his "super bowl" (I believe that was the correct quote...to lazy to look up what it was exactly), Derek didn't show up at all and our front seven abused their OL all game. Again, I won't comment on Derek's character, but as a football player...color me unimpressed.
