Of course not. But, that dude has heart.Huge fan, but not ready to put him in Brady company…
I’ve been telling you all. Ballard has a type. He only drafts athletic freaks.
Stop me if you’ve heard this song before.

Say what you want about Ballard, he’s consistent.
There certainly more to a great football player than RAS. No one ever accused Payton Manning or Tom Brady of being elite athletes. But they were elite quarterbacks. They just had “it”. And I’d take a player who has “it” over a player just because they are outstanding athletes. You can’t teach just any great athlete “it” and “it” is often found in mediocre athletes.Generally speaking I agree with Ballard's overall philosophy since players are something of a crap-shoot anyway. However, I will admit to being disappointed that they passed on taking ND TE Michael Mayer and instead traded down. They ended up with a corner a few picks later, which they also needed, but Mayer always seemed like a real difference maker everytime I saw him play.
