like I would hope people could trust me having covered the league for 20 years, that I'm not getting the wool pulled over my eyes, that I'm going to people that I can trust, that I'm going to people that have given me the truth over the years that I'm going to people that where I see like, okay, they said positive things about these four kids, but he wasn't as hot on this kid.

And I think Tom's the same way.

I mean, there's stuff I leave out of mine. to be fair to people, you know? But if you want the truth, that's usually what's in these stories.

Do you want to watch the draft and see a guy fall three rounds and not know why? Do you want that to happen? Because to me, for my career, the most โ most obvious example is Aaron Hernandez. Like he was drafted in the fourth round in 2010.
