And it’s not like he was some off the charts talent going into his senior year. He was second team all conference his junior year. Second team all conference, sit a year - BOOM #16 pick in the draft. How did THAT not work out?? LOL There are probably 80 (or more) people every August who could be 1st round picks the following May. Scores of them play their way out of the first round, get injured, crap the bed at the combine etc. We took a guy at 16 who sat out his senior year AND the combine. It’s like TT owed somebody a favor LOL. And it’s not revisionist - it was a stunningly stupid pick the minute it was made. “OK big guy, you’ve got potential … now go out there and prove it your senior year - oh wait - you had to sit out? Ummmm well… ok we’ll check you out at the combine. Wait… what??? Can’t make the combine? Ummmm ok well no problem it’s not like we’re making you a top 10 pick and you were getting some accolades going into your senior year so yeah sure let’s burn the #16 pick. To be fair he did start 2 games and made *checks notes* 17 tackles and *checks notes again* zero sacks. On a positive note? We only paid him $14M so that was less than a million dollars a tackle ROTFL</p></blockquote><p></p>
