Steven M. Sipple: Part of Lavonte's secret? 'He can contort his body like a mouse,' Ekeler says

Nebraska football fans' respect for Lavonte David is so thorough and enormous that it actually might be interesting to hear about any weaknesses as a player he might have had at NU.

Remember, we're talking about a guy who had 152 tackles in 2010, which remains a school record.

"Yeah, he definitely had a weakness," Mike Ekeler, the former Nebraska linebackers coach (2008-10), said earlier this week. "He was selfish."

Selfish? Really?

"Dude, he made every damn tackle, and no one else could make a tackle," Ekeler said. "That was his one weakness."

In other words, David really had no weakness.
