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

Historically we do not draft safeties high. So many guys that stay that extra year bear out so much better.

He chose not to come because he had a paper due the following Monday. The guy has pretty good study habits.
brown good great guys national picked tells win
They're all pretty good players, but they aren't great players. That tells you Mack Brown is a pretty good coach, because they were able to win a national championship with just two guys who will be picked in the first round.
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.
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.

I don't think being too smart can ever hurt you. All you have to look at is what kind of competitor he is. This guy is one of the great competitors of all time.

They missed the boat initially, but the guys have made up lost ground. They went from being not the greatest to very efficient.
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.
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.
guy seems
He's a Deion Sanders -type athlete. It seems like this guy can do everything, just like Deion did.
