Why is Corey doing so well in the NFL and lining up for a huge contract when his college career at UW was low(er) profile?

I remember he was starting to come on nicely but kapow his eligibility was used up...

- late bloomer?
- not used correctly?

    No redshirt. By the time he was getting good, he was gone. He would have been huge for us in 2016 if he had redshirted.
    This.

    Doesn't even look like the same person.

    Not when you’ve recruited properly with NFL caliber talent each year like Alabama and Pete at USC

    Nah, they'll leave early anyway! Who cares! Rush back from injury for 1 catch for 9 yards the week before a bye, fuck it. Hey Kyler want to waste the option of a 5th year by playing 5 games worth of kickoff coverage? Torch that thing.

    I was actually told by somebody in the program, "you don't know the whole story." SarkSure.gif but I can think about the cost-benefit for literally 45 seconds and figure out how asinine these decisions are...but nah, no way anybody not directly involved in the decision making could know better. Dangerous fucking mindset and I have a fear it's widespread.

    Putting the stupidity of burning redshirts aside... I’m going to doog a little bit.
    Littleton, Dissly (before injury) insert name of other lowly recruited dawg now carving out a butch for themselves in the nfl.

    Maybe there’s something to be said for petermans repetitive focus on the basics. 10k hours type shit.

    So selling croots on “I can get 2-⭐️ dissly to the league. Imagine what I can do with 4 Ford or 5 rRingo.”

    Maybe...

    It helps when you are a linebacker playing behind guys like Suh and Donald.

    I actually disagree with that. Neither Suh or Donald are disciplined DT’s who take up blockers. They try to shoot gaps and make plays in the backfield.

    The Rams defense is very mediocre. They are opportunistic and have playmakers tho.

    Agree. But they also are consistently getting the attention of multiple lineman. It's a good place to play MLB.

    No shit, that was the point of the post. How the hell did you miss the sarcasm? I wonder about you sometimes, Jim.
