He looked phenomenal in his first start and I was really high on him during the draft. Seemed to have all the tools, but for some reason, he was just annihilated by the media, mostly for stupid stuff like mayonnaise or something. There seemed to be an almost vicious hatred for the guy largely on Twitter. Can someone explain? I swear on draft night, they cut to his face every time somebody was picked over him, like they just wanted to humiliate him.

    I mean he had real concerns after his last year. I don’t think anything was too unwarranted

    He wasn’t annihilated by the media who consistently had him in the top 5 discussion leading up to the draft. He was annihilated by armchair scouts here and on Twitter.

    Because they hate Reddit and someone on Reddit said he was going to go #1 overall. They can’t stand when they get scooped by a random Redditor.
