There were reports prior to the NFL draft, where Kindle was picked in the second round, that the Dallas native suffers from narcolepsy, attention deficit disorder and that he fell asleep during team meetings. The Ravens, specifically general manager Ozzie Newsome and director of college scouting Eric DeCosta, seemed amused when asked about the reports that Kindle takes medication for narcolepsy and ADD. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder involving sleeping issues. "If it was a concern, we probably wouldn't have drafted him," DeCosta said.
