Manti Te'o won't walk across the stage at Radio City Music Hall next month and shake hands with Roger Goodell during the 2013 NFL Draft in New York City. It's not because he's not going to get drafted, though. After running a 4.71 40-yard dash at his Notre Dame pro day, Te'o will likely be drafted in the first round. But, in order to skip the media circus that will inevitably take place in NYC if he attends the draft, he's reportedly decided to watch it somewhere else. Where? We're not going to find out. But, it's probably the best move for him to make if he wants to avoid answering 1,647,823,490 more questions about Lennay Kekua. Good thinking.
