Are you asking why I think he was the second best QB in the draft? If so, it's because he was the second best QB in college football last year at production while under pressure (PFF grade vs pressure). And more specifically, that metric seems to be the best available predictor statistic of success in the NFL.
If it’s all about the money, he fucked up cause he’s scheduled to earn about half of what he would have gotten at UT from UCLA.
he did fuck up. Bad. He turned a lot of people off and entered the portal late in the game with his spring shenanigans it woulda been tough to match the Tennessee offer but if he entered the portal right away in a respectable manner he would’ve gotten close and received more interest
Well know for sure if he fucked up if he ends yp up being a day 3 pick like the TGG draft experts project. If he ends being Day 1 pick as a result, no one will care about all those turned off people.
I don’t think he will even enter the draft in 2026. I think he will play a year at UCLA and enter the portal again. Like JV said- Miami or someone with deep NIL pockets, maybe Texas Tech maybe in 2027 he’s a 1st round pick who knows
