I think a lot of the national attention has to do with his running ability, in addition to the cannon of an arm, obviously. People are in love with that now and see him in the Josh Allen / Mahomes mold, and figure he is the perfect fit for today’s game. We might take his running ability for granted because we’re so used to having an extraordinary rushing attack, Lynn Bowden, etc, but go back and rewatch his film from the UL game where he puts his cleats into the face of every linebacker and db on their team. Dude can absolutely truck, as we all well know, but draft dorks are in love with that.
I’m a little hesitant on all this talk myself, but I still think he’s going to have an outstanding season. Plus, imagine the amount of clean white girl puss he is slaying.
