contract financial guys knew leaf respond utopia work
Leaf got the big contract and that was his utopia - he didn't want to work for anything else. That's what makes this so hard: You don't know how guys are going to respond to financial success, if they will still work hard. If you knew that, you wouldn't have so many busts.
close guy might seen special
I think sometimes, when you're close to somebody, you might overvalue a person. And I'm close to Young. But I've seen what the guy has done. I just think he's a pretty special player.

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.
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.
finished impact question
Two years from now, after he's finished his (college) career, I don't think there's any question that this guy's a first-rounder. And I don't think there's any question that he'll be an impact player.
against both happens knew opponents prep prepare
What happens when you play both is that it makes opponents dilute their prep time, ... Before, they knew they'd be going up against a 4-3 or a 3-4 exclusively. Now they have to prepare to play against both.

We've added interviews. We've added interviews on tape. We've added workout tapes that are available to all teams. It's like we've gone from a one-story motel in a small town in Montana to the Sears Tower. It's bigger and more elaborate.

When you say 47 percent out of the first 10 picks made the Hall of Fame, that's a high percentage.
