Aaron Gordon

He was there for five hours. They loved him. And Arthur Smith liked him. Tomlin liked him. So I'm like, it makes sense. But in the same breath on that episode of Get Up, guys, I was like, or he's not getting drafted in the first round. Right. And then it starts. Now, that's all good. I never, never thought he would slip to day three.

But in the aftermath of it, you start doing it out and you're like, all right, if a guy comes in, he's like every interview saying, I'm going to change your franchise. I'm going to change your culture. And I've got all this stuff that comes with it. As a starter, you're like, yeah, let's go. But now you're talking about backup.

It's almost less easy to find a spot to be a backup than it is to be a starter. Right. My last thing on Shador, and we can get into all the aftermath of the prank call and everything, was such an unorthodox, untraditional, unprecedented prospect in the fact that he played for his dad in high school, played for his dad at Jackson State, played for his dad at Colorado.

It was, you know, you go up to Boulder, everyone tells you like Dion has that thing dialed in, but it's unlike any other program. You know, Bruce Feldman had a quote where he was explaining, like, you go in there, Dion just runs it all. And who could talk to the kid who could talk to this one?

And like, it's, it's a party, but it's also a very unorthodox situation up there with how Dion was running it. Then he accepts an invite to the East-West Shrine game, and then the NFL sends out a memo. It's like you have to practice and decides not to practice or play in the game.

Goes to the combine, interviews with teams, and then doesn't work out, which a lot of people have not done, but doesn't do it. And also declined an opportunity to go to the Senior Bowl, declined the Big 12 workout. So you have this unorthodox prospect, and you wouldn't do all that stuff unless you're a first-round pick. Like Caleb Williams can do that stuff. Andrew Luck can do that stuff.

If you're not a surefire top pick, usually you want to throw and you want to work out and you want to do all this stuff. So it was just an unorthodox thing, but I don't think anyone saw it sliding down to the fifth round. And when he finally was drafted, I think it was a relief for everyone because A, it sucks for the kid. B, it sucks for all the people who are watching it.

And C, it sucked for the media who all said to the viewers that he was going to be a first round pick.
