I mean, obviously there's still more to learn.
I don't know if we have all the details and know the circumstances, and you give people the benefit of the doubt.
I don't know exactly what happened in this accident.
it sounds like it is complicated in the sense that it sounds like maybe a lot of NFL teams didn't know about it, which is unusual.
I mean, even in retrospect, you know, with some of the things with Rasheed Rice, you know, that the public learned about maybe some things that happened at SMU, it appeared that NFL teams knew about them, and that was one of the reasons why he probably fell into the second round and was there for the Chiefs.
This, it's a little bit, you know, different.
And the circumstances behind it, you know, it's an odd case for sure.
So I don't know if we know enough to really make any quick judgments, but it's got to give any NFL team that's thinking about taking him in the early part of the first round some hesitation because, again, you know, it's not even the, hey, accidents happen.
I don't know what was the case in this case.
If he was the cause of it for sure, who knows?
But, you know, if there were NFL teams that didn't know about this and he didn't reveal it to them, I mean, that is going to be a concern for some people.
And I haven't heard from anybody in the organization as of yet about how they feel about it.
um i mean my initial reaction was that i mean i do think that if you're the chiefs you probably do have to take him off your board um and i say that as being somebody who's i think that he is absolutely a guy that would help out this team i think that he's probably of the players that's available in the first round maybe the one that could have the most impact on this team they need somebody on the defensive side that can be a future pillar of this team because they're they're losing chris jones and
I'm not sure that they have anybody else that you really would call a pillar, somebody that you can build around.
They need, like, a future all-pro caliber player, and he could potentially be that guy.
But I also, you know, there's something that the Chiefs have kind of lived by in the last 10 years, and it's been that, hey, they've got a locker room that can handle adding these kind of guys.
And I say that probably 10 years, but I probably should more like say like eight or nine, because
