PLAYERS: Manti Te'o

Via Larry Brown Sports:

Manti Te’o may have made his life slightly easier if he got off Twitter a long time ago, but his account remained active through Super Bowl Sunday. According to ESPN.com, Te’o has decided to quit tweeting for an unknown period of time while he prepares himself for the NFL Draft, which will take place from April 25-27.

Te’o's decision to quit Twitter was somewhat abrupt. During Super Bowl XLVII between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, he was one of a number of athletes and celebrities who seemed to highly approve of Beyonce’s halftime performance.

As we showed you on Sunday night, Beyonce’s act was a huge hit with a number of big names on Twitter. The former Notre Dame linebacker was one of them, but his account was gone by the time the game ended on a controversial no-call in the end zone.

Considering the unbelievable turn of events that has taken place in Te’o's life over the past month, the last thing he needs is any additional distractions as he attempts to improve his draft stock before April. Staying away from social media until he finds a home in the NFL is probably a good idea.

  • He's trying too hard not to proclaim he's gay.
  • She is way out of your league Te'o, after all she exists and is a woman. I personally wish CBS killed her performance. I want to watch football not a crappy 3 song concert with lip singing or washed up has beens.
  • jDe.it's lip sync
  • Hey is GAY! now he just has to live up to the truth.
  • And who might "Hey" be?
