I saw these tweets last night and they really bothered me for a couple of reasons. First, I don't think it's cool to take the moment where everyone is focused on Jason Taylor and try to make it all about Jerome. I wasn't around when Jason Taylor was a big deal, but a Hall of Fame spot only get's offered to you once. I am sure Jason didn't notice, but it was a low class move by Hammond, IMHO, and Jerome only made it worse. I get that Hammond is an ambitious guy who thinks he can make a name for himself with Jerome Lane, but he has to try to show some class.
Second, let's wait and see how you perform at the combine, Jerome. The NFL scouts made the mistake of overlooking Jatavis Brown. That might have something to do with why he is getting a shot at the combine. If the Zips were to promote Jerome's attendance, it would make more sense after the combine results are in. However, I am not sure promoting a player who leaves early is exactly the trend the program wants to follow. I don't begrudge him leaving early, but I am not sure it is fair for him to expect to be promoted, especially with the negative garbage he posts on social media.
