Maryland Terrapin nose tackle Andre Monore is an unsung 2015 NFL Draft prospect that could do all kinds of damage in the NFL. But the scouting word has overlooked him because at only 5’11”, he is a David in a world full of Goliaths. NFL G.M.s rarely want to go outside of their little box no matter how well a player plays in college so if he’s picked at all, it likely won’t be early.
