I recall him doing a combine interview with NFL radio before he got drafted. I was listening to it and I was like, "This guy screams shitty Belichick WR"

Everything he said was about his team approach and his selflessness and his work ethic. The bells rang in my head and signaled a player who knew he possessed no elite physical traits to play the position. For certain positions you can hear that kind of talk and go, "Well, he seems nice. Let's see what he can do on the team." For others, like WR, you DON'T want that kind of attitude. At all. You want to hear the diva talk and the "I'm the ****ing greatest, bitch" and all that other stuff. But he didn't give even a whiff of it. And at that moment I was like, "Good thing our GM doesn't draft shit players like this."

I convinced myself when we took him that I was wrong and how that was an unfair assessment based on one interview. I ate up that college separation rate bullshit stat that got passed around. And mostly, I was adamant that he be given a fair shake which might mean getting a full redshirt year his first season.

He got a fair shake. He got two years of a shake. That's more than most players get.

It's okay. GMs will miss on players. They all do. And it's not like the guy didn't try hard. It didn't work out. He had a dream of playing in the NFL, and he got there, but he flamed out. Nothing personal. But, yeah... he does need to go away.
