Joe Whitt's comments were reflective of him as a football player, or as a person? It's a rather vague comment in a brief article essentially talking down Underwood.

I think it's hard to say they weren't about off-field issues - that is to say Whitt's comments were somewhat intended at Underwood as a person.
This incident, although unfortunate, should not be a major surprise. Coming out in the draft, in the draft rankings compiled by McGinn based on talking to many scouts, he (McGinn) had Underwood as a top-100 prospect. Remember: we got Underwood in the 6th round; there is a disparity between where Underwood's talent should have gotten him drafted and where he fell to us at.
What became evident was that many scouts questioned Underwood as a person, not his football talent; his behaviour and conduct off the field.
Frankly, unless Underwood shows he is leaps and bounds above Bush / Bell, I'd say cut ties with him. This type of behaviour may very well keep teams away from him, and if the team likes Underwood's potential then they may have a chance to resign him to the PS and give him another year to mature.
