What a set up.
The talk of the NFL draft may be the shocking free fall we’ve seen from Colorado QB (and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders), Shedeur Sanders, who still remains undrafted heading into Day 3. Shedeur was largely projected as the #2 quarterback off the board, and likely a first round pick. But when the Raiders opted for Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, and who could blame them, and the Pittsburgh passed at 21, it was all but certain that Shedeur would go somewhere in the second round.
But then the Giants took Jaxson Dart late in the first, the Saints took Tyler Shough in the second, and Shedeur looked to be a 3rd round pick. And while all of that was rather head-scratching… the wheels really fell off in the 3rd round. Jalen Milroe and Dillon Gabriel come off the board, and suddenly Shedeur is a Day 3 pick… and it’s not clear why.
Some say it’s the circus surrounding him with his father, some cite the poor interview he had as alleged by one anonymous assistant coach, others say he’s just simply not that good. And then some have gone as far as to cry racism (even though the past Super Bowl featured 2 black quarterbacks and Cam Ward was drafted 1st overall), or allege some kind of NFL conspiracy. It’s still unclear but NFL teams have proven they’re willing to hand out big contracts to woman-beaters, men accused of sexual assault, morons who seem un-coachable, etc… so my hunch is there is something NFL teams are seeing in the tape that they don’t like.
We’ll see…
But now, to the point of this blog… another QB who waiting to get drafted on Day 3… Texas QB Quinn Ewers. Big arm, won some big games at Texas, he’s a 3-4 round projection that could potentially turn into a decent NFL quarterback someday. The Dallas-area native (actually born near San Antonio), was posted up from what appears to be a family hunting cabin, or maybe just his parents’ living room, but either way… just glorious.
We got some elk, moose, a bear, bison, some ibex, bighorn sheep, a gemsbok… guy lives in a Bass Pro Shop.
Meanwhile Shedeur had this room built…
Looks like a Foot Locker…
And while there is a certain sect of clueless weirdos who think hunting is “creepy” or wrong, most people were loving Quinn’s setup. And naturally, the commentary was pretty comical:
Whoever drafts Quinn gonna have a great hunting buddy (and probably a pretty good quarterback too).
