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.

Idrk what you’re talking about, he was mocked in the first most places so on draft night the broadcast kept focusing on the fact he was still in the green room, same as they did w Rogers years ago. He also did some weird shit and had a hot gf, both increasing the media attention on him. There was also a rumor right before the draft he’d go #1. Then he got picked second in the second round. There was no hit job and he didn’t suffer some huge tumble. As to why other people got picked before him idk maybe cus he had a big arm but lacked polish and played at Kentucky? He was still the fourth QB taken and the 33rd overall pick.
