That’s smart. It would be terrible if something weird happened to a highly touted player with the NFL draft a few precious months away that would give teams cause for concern. Oh wait.

A source told ESPN.com the former Notre Damelinebacker will be off Twitter for an indefinite period of time to prepare for the NFL draft. Twitter accounts that are deleted can be reactivated by that person.

Before it was deleted, Te'o's Twitter bio included a quote from French author Alexandre Dumas in his book, The Count of Monte Cristo: "Life is a storm ...You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes."

The quote certainly mirrored Te'o's life over the past month.

Well, better late than never, I guess.

Take that, would-be Lennay Kekuas of the world.
