Ryan Leaf couldnt ignore/process media BS properly either. 1 hour ago, Batman1876 said: It’s an approach that has worked well for Trump and Brady. And there ya go....both posters here are correct. Some people are shrewd enough to use that type of thing as an advantage, and some just get consumed by it. If they draft Mayfield, I hope they have a very long interview with him and are very secure in their analysis of his character. That issue will make or break him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I actually think McD likes this about him. He really tried to play up the “underdog” vibe and “no one believes in us” culture with the team last year. He fits right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His completion % is low, nothing I I see in him tells me he's going to be successful in the NFL. But, what the hell do I know? You know about the same as the rest of us which is only what we read. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 That motivation got him from being a walk-on at Texas Tech to being an almost-consensus top-10 pick in the draft. Whatever makes him tick, it's clearly working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Josh Allen sent e-mails to many college programs and never garnered any interest. Both he and Mayfield are the fellas with an edge and chip on their shoulders. Marry that to talent, and you can get good results. I like them both and think either would fit well with McD, though Allen will need more time to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - did it say whether he went to any camps? Can’t imagine getting an offer through just a email. HS coaches are the ones that send out the film.

Just Joshin' Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 If the chip drives you to excellence, then it is an asset. If it eats your soul and distracts you, not so good. I hope Mayfield is the first as I would like to see him on the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere else a family friend helped him get a spot on a team, but I don't know if that was Wyoming or the small college he started at.

Well, whatever he did it worked because he’s about to go top 10 in the draft. If he went to a big time program he could have been buried on the depth chart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
