George Kittle had a great college career, put up great numbers at the combine, then was drafted in the 5th round. Now he’s a leading tight end. 5th round? What was it they didn’t like about him? He didn’t lack size, strength, speed, or demonstrated ability against real competition. On paper he is better than several tight ends drafted ahead of him.
I mean, the NFL is a total meritocracy, where the pressure to win/make money is certainly higher than any other desire like social engineering. Yes, that’s sarcasm.
Are you implying it’s because his name is not Tyreekaquanametrius the 3rd?
