As a former college football player with NFL sights, I can tell you that he is but one injury away from falling into the obscurity of what all of us call ... real life. I shredded my knee and that’s all she wrote (ACL twice, MCL, and have no cartilage left).

Ask Daunte Culpepper, Joe Theisman, Sterling Sharpe and any one of thousands of other players how quickly the spotlight can fade.

You might be right, but the guys you mentioned were all slow, and not runners. This guy is like a ballet dancer. Plus, it wouldn’t surprise me if he does something else instead of football. You go all out in life, and what happens happens I guess. Right now his goal is to be the best quarterback on the best team. If he achieves that, it can’t be taken away from him. I have fun watching him as he’s totally not full of himself. A breath of fresh air. Articulate while still young. Amazing.
