Swoopes ended up being an NFL TE so if we hadn’t wasted everyone’s time pretending he could be a college QB he probably would have ended up being a pretty damn good athlete take as well.
Idk, Love Gun makes a pretty solid point. Why didn’t we have any OL drafted last year?
I mean sure, we are returning every starter. But are we sure Flood is good?
I’ve been thinking a lot about McMurtry over the last few days. Lost them both within about two years of each other.

I’ve got a friend who seriously hates Ryan Fitzpatrick to this day because he says he had an offer to go play qb at Harvard until Fitz swooped in and took his spot. He ended up playing for Claremont McKenna.
CSB postscript, his little brother is famous 5-star bust Max Browne.
Assuming we’re talking about Sean Weatherspoon, his college fb career ended 14 years ago.
Christ, why does ever single thing have to remind me that I’m old.
