advanced athletic faster guy less risky system upside
McNair was less risky than Young probably, but I also think that Young has more upside than McNair. McNair was probably more advanced because of the system that they used (at Alcorn). Young is a little more athletic and probably a little faster than McNair was, and with Young you've got a guy that has unbelievable potential.
everybody ice likes people
Everybody likes ice cream. People like different flavors.

I don't think we should call him a franchise quarterback yet. He's a good quarterback.
ability guy moving understand
I think he has the ability to play much better than he has been. This is another guy who has to understand that he's now moving up a class.
audience audiences captive people
You've got a captive audience of all 32 teams, and that's something you don't have at (an on-campus session). If you do well here, there are a lot of people who take notice.

He's the fastest tight end I've ever seen. I knew he was fast, but I thought he'd run a 4.55 or something like that. It's amazing, especially at that weight.
draft held late
This was in the late 1950s, and we held the draft in Philadelphia because that's where the commissioner, Bert Bell, had his office.
grade guy picked seldom
Usually they're in the ballpark. Seldom do you have a third-round grade and the guy is picked in the first, and seldom do you have a second-round grade and he's picked in the sixth.
arm games last overall played seem swear three understand
When you look at the last three games he played at Michigan, you swear this is the No. 1 overall pick. He's got everything you need ? arm strength, mobility, he's bright. But for some reason, he doesn't seem to put it all together. I don't understand it.
