You can stack Berry just out of the box.

I anticipate Berry playing a lot more out of the box this year in subs.


Granted, that's also banking on Commings being able to play FS so Abdullah can play ITB in subs.

I'd like to see him freed up a bit, that's for sure. He was much more of a playmaker in college when he was allowed to roam more. The kid can still cover and make plays, he's just restricted a bit by the scheme, but he's perfect for that spot.

Cornerback has a Friday arraignment

Former Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby is facing a misdemeanor charge of operating a vehicle while impaired despite registering a .008 on a Breathalyzer exam.

That's 10 times below the Ohio state legal limit of .08.

Roby conducted a field sobriety test before taking the Breathalyzer test. He was released on his own recognizance.

He's scheduled for a court arraignment Friday morning.

The case is expected to be resolved without any significant legal ramifications, if any, for Roby, a projected late first-round draft pick.

"This past weekend my client Bradley Roby was issued a citation in Columbus, Ohio for operating a vehicle while impaired," Roby's agent, Michael Perrett of SportsTrust Advisors, said in a statement to National Football Post. "Bradley was sitting in his parked car in a parking lot when he was approached and questioned by an officer. He was fully cooperative and willingly submitted to field sobriety and breathalyzer tests.

"His BAC test registered a negligible .008 and after further testing at the police station, he was very quickly released on his own recognizance. There are no other charges, and we are confident that this matter will be resolved quickly and favorably for Bradley. However, as the matter is still pending, we cannot comment further at this time."

Last year, Roby was initially charged with battery following an incident at a bar in Bloomington, Ind. Then, the charges were reduced and ultimately dropped after a video surfaced of a security officer that showed he was at fault and Roby finished a diversion program.

Roby had a one-game suspension imposed by Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer.

Roby was one of 30 players invited to attend the NFL draft in New York City in two weeks.

While the timing of the incident is obviously poor, it's not expected to significantly affect Roby's draft stock.

At the NFL scouting combine, Roby ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds and had a 38-inch vertical leap, a 10-4 broad jump and bench pressed 225 pounds 17 times.

Must have had a cough drop ten minutes before the cop arrived.

That he was even taken down to the station is a ****ing joke after they gave him a field breathalyzer test.

I'd be livid, especially considering that the draft is a few weeks away.

Bradley Roby gives his side of story in OVI incident


Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby gave his side of the story Friday regarding his April 20 citation on a charge of operating a vehicle under the influence in Columbus, Ohio.

A possible first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Roby posted a picture of a document that purportedly shows he registered just a .008 blood-alcohol reading in the alleged incident.


Roby’s agent, Michael Perrett, told ElevenWarriors.com that Roby’s blood-alcohol level was only .008, a reading below the legal limit.

Via the Cleveland Plain Dealer, online Franklin (Ohio) County Municipal Court records show that Roby will be arraigned in the OVI case on Tuesday, April 29.

In other tweets Friday, Roby noted that he “was not driving” and “did not get arrested” in the alleged incident. Roby also said that while he took “ownership” for what had happened, he was not happy with how it was portrayed by the media.

I would rather have Fuller or Verrett, do not want a problem child rookie again. Gotta play it safe if you take a corner

Roby pleads guilty to reduced charge


The pre-draft legal issue for cornerback Bradley Roby has been resolved almost as quickly as it arose.

On Tuesday morning, Roby resolved a citation for operating a vehicle while under the influence by pleading guilty to having “physical control” of a vehicle while under the influence.

“Though my client, Bradley Roby, maintains his innocence and feels he would have been completely exonerated had he taken this matter to trial, Bradley has accepted the prosecutor’s offer of a reduced charge to ‘physical control’ to bring closure and finality to this situation ahead of next week’s NFL draft,” agent Michael Perrett of SportsTrust Advisors said in a statement issued to PFT. “A ‘physical control’ citation is a non-moving violation that will not result in any points being added to his driving record and there will be no license suspension. Bradley is scheduled to complete a three-day alcohol educational class this week which will effectively terminate the case. This plea was accepted by the judge and entered into the record today. Bradley is very focused and is excited about starting his NFL career.”

While a 911 caller claimed that Roby “almost hit a bunch of kids” while driving at 3:00 a.m., the prosecutor obviously believed that it would be impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Roby was indeed driving under the influence.

Roby ultimately was found behind the wheel of a parked car, with a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.008 percent, one-tenth of the legal limit.
