Snippet
quote:

Dear NFL GMs and Coaches,

I’m writing to express my interest in becoming your next dominant football player.

I’m not one to tout my own accomplishments. It’s not really in my nature. But I also understand that this is a time when I should be open about what I’ve done in the past and what I plan to do in the future.

When I’m selected in the upcoming draft, I’m pretty sure I know what the guys on TV are going to say: “This is the kid who broke Reggie White’s all-time sack record at Tennessee.”

That’s true. That’s something I did, and it’s something I’m very proud of.

But one thing I want to make clear is that breaking that record was never a goal of mine. It wasn’t what motivated me or what I had set out to accomplish before I enrolled at Tennessee. Instead, it was a by-product.

This kid has to be the pick. Fits the bill for what SP wants. Good locker room presence, dominant football player.

I hope he is there at 11. That's who I've wanted from the get go.

Unfortunately, I think so as well.

This is kind of an "on the spectrum" move.

Holy shite if they get this draft!!
This place would shut down due to all the fapping.

I think there is some chance of already being gone.

For value I do not think ten-ish on your board is a giant amount if this is your #1 position of need. BPA yes, but NEED must be in the equation as well.

How about this?...

I feel much more confident of Barnett coming in a fulfilling the #1 need for an impact DE who starts Day 1 OVER a cornerback coming in and being a #1 shutdown CB.

Why is he writing a letter? A lot of people must be down on him.

It's a good letter. I do believe he will work hard in the NFL as he promised.

I wish he could promise he would get more explosive, then I'd be down with the pick

Yeah I read it. It's really nice.

I just don't get why he felt the need to put it out there. It's something I would expect a guy like Malik McDowell to do.
