May 5, 20214 yr His athleticism was off the charts....but he could not get off a blocker to save his life. He said he wanted to play with savages, but he never played like a savage himself. Maybe something will click and he does well with the Colts. I hope so. He was a good guy.....best of luck!

I don't consider 3rd round picks as busts. 1st and 2nd, sure. 3rd and beyond? Nah. Like you said, a shit ton of 3-7 rd drafted players don't make it. That said, one more year at Texas wasn't going to improve his draft. He was just overrated and he was drafted in the 3rd because they thought they saw potential.

May 6, 20214 yr I'll always like Malik as a person. We're friends on fb (csb) and he's always positive no matter the situation. I wish I had his positivity.
December 19, 20214 yr had no idea he was with the colts. I swear I saw him looking straight down the camera in the background during a sideline shot, not in uniform. "Wow that guy looks just like Malik!" /*that'sRacist/

July 2, 20223 yr A lot of good potential that was wasted by Charlie Strong and the dipshit crew. Wish Malik the best.

Agreed, but MJ probably wasn't one of those guys wasted. Other CS guys have found a way to stick in the league. If he had all that useful talent, then he would have as well. Solid guy, but it's on him at this point.
July 3, 20223 yr Weird career. I think he made a play or two in the first game of his freshman year that I don’t think he made again the rest of his three years here.
July 3, 20223 yr Malik had a solid year his junior season along with Gary Johnson. That defense was actually pretty good. Did he get drafted in the 3rd or 5th? I won’t say he was a waste of talent but I don’t think he lived up to his 5 star hype whether it was injuries or scheme. Either way, I’d kill for a LB with his talent on this team.
July 3, 20223 yr He's an amazing athlete who isn't great at football.Yep. No football IQ, technique, or instinct. He looked the part though.
July 3, 20223 yr He made a mistake leaving early. He started playing well as a soph but ended the season getting hurt. Then played well as a junior, but that was probably because he was surrounded by experienced guys. If memory serves, he missed the bowl game too.He’s really a complementary player who can occasionally look like a star because he can get there in a hurry. Cooter Brown is right.
July 3, 20223 yr Would have loved to see Malik playing the edge role that Ossai was afforded his last year.

He had a terrible career for the hype and was a massive bust here. Lol at wanting another Malik here. Hard pass.
July 3, 20223 yr No doubt he didn't live up to his hype. I would happily take him on this year's team. I remember how bad our edge play was last year. He could help a little.

July 3, 20223 yr How is being named All-American and defensive player of the year a MASSIVE bust?Cause he got benched as a sophomore after being named Freshman DPOY?
July 3, 20223 yr 29 minutes ago, Catdaddyhorn said: How is being named All-American and defensive player of the year a MASSIVE bust? Relative to the hype. Pretty key phrase. And yes, he wasn’t that great. He was freshman AA per Sporting News. He wasn’t instinctive at all and that he was Co-DPOY for the conference says everything about the offensive nature of the conference. Do you know how hard it is for the 78th overall player drafted to be cut after one season and 10 games played? And to be cut by every team, quickly, that picked him up? He’s a bust. An average college player and an overall bust for the massive 5-star hype that surrounded him. Ewers and Arch are much bigger pickups.
July 4, 20223 yr Would have loved to see Malik playing the edge role that Ossai was afforded his last year. True. He had no business being tied up inside every down.

July 15, 20223 yr 5th NFL team in 5 seasons. Has the athleticism to keep getting gigs but not enough talent to stick. He was definitely overrates AF coming out of Poteet.

He might’ve been overrated. But if you straight up suck you’re not sniffing NFL rosters for anything close to 5 years.
July 15, 20223 yr 46 minutes ago, jimmyjazz said: 5 seasons in the NFL and he's "overrated AF". Gotcha. No, he was talking out of high school. All he did was Freshman All-American (2015) Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year (2015) Second-team All-American (2017) Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year (2017) First-team All-Big 12 (2017) Need more suckage like that right now.
July 15, 20223 yr 3 minutes ago, markstanco said: No, he was talking out of high school. I understand that. My point is that sticking in the league for 5 years pretty much validates any lofty expectations out of high school. At least in my mind it does. Like you say, we need more of that kind of suck.
July 15, 20223 yr Five yrs associated with the league, is impressive no matter who it is. He reps the burnt orange, so should you.
August 6, 20223 yr This morning the Ticket played an interview Gordo had with Malik. Good dude trying to make it in the league. Made me proud to be a Longhorn.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
