It's really not hard to figure out why Laird was not recruited to play big time football. He didn't fit the stereotype of big time skill guys in football. At 6' 1 175 lbs in high school running a 4.4 o 4.5 with one of the best vertical jumps in the state as a senior, this kid should have been able to pick where he wanted to go with these skills and the numbers he put up. Compare these numbers to ANY WR or DB on the recruiting list right now and tell me what the difference is in him and all of those on the list? Kid is a beast. He wasn't recruited big time for the same reason Quinn wasn't a 5 star.

I had seen last year he was rooming with either landry or odell or maybe both. But anyways he was all set to play football as a walk-on as a wr but like every year the baseball team has a couple of kids go to the draft so a scholarship opened up and he took it.

Haha this thread is funny

Did awful at camps and was shut down almost every time by the top guys. At one camp Diarse was guarding him and he failed to catch one pass.

Guys, do y'all really think you know more than those who have been doing this all of their lives and get paid millions for it?
