In the draft process and eventual judging of players based on draft process/capital, not enough thought goes into the human aspect of the game. It becomes too much of a numbers/stats/model/analytics/film thing (of course those are all important) and then when the guy fails to pan out it’s “BUT HOW WHAT HAPPENED WE MUST HAVE MISJUDGED HIM AS A PLAYER.” I honestly believe that many times, he was misjudged as a person.
Look at all the Johnny Footballs, the Jamarcus Russells, the Kyler Murrays, or even the Tom Bradys and Hunter Renfrows. Work ethic, maturity, passion for the game, all of it goes into the pick. Don’t be surprised or aDjUsT yOuR mOdElS because a guy failed. People are not statistics and there will never be a formula for human nature.
Purdy? Idk much about his whole situation it just kind of came out of nowhere
