Cam Ward has also bounced around, but if you watched him, he jumped up at every level, and it felt more like – in an effort to prove who he was to everybody else and himself. And when you look at the success he's had at every single stop, I mean, you can't help but be impressed. This is a guy who will go into a program and has such a confidence in himself that he is the linchpin to turn it around.
And you know what? I also think Shador fits in that bucket as well. Now, obviously, there's conversation around Shador and they're like, oh, he's arrogant. Yes, he is a confident dude. Like he's the son of Deion Sanders. You know what I mean? I'm short. My dad is short. That's what that's how it works. You kind of get what you're given. But at the same time, he also went and performed at HBCU.
And I remember when he went to Colorado, people weren't like, oh, he's going to go here and crush. He's going to go in here and be one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. And he also did that as well. And so there's obviously a lot more factors around Shador and how he ended up at the FCS level.
But I will say I feel this, like, very similar to him than Cam Ward, that there's a trajectory there where they're all still climbing. I don't think it's been a plateau.
What the hell is this supposed to mean, man? I'm saying that you established yesterday. This was your strategy in game two? No. To start a rift with your teammates?
If he was in the gym when I was in the gym. Every day, early putting up shots.
Yeah, I don't think you're wrong. And I think I've watched maybe, again, admittedly, maybe three, like, all 22s of Shador. But when I watch him, and the same with Cam Warwick, it's like Mike said, there's things that pop up that you don't love, like, that he's not developed on. There will still be development for both of these guys. And, like, I also have to consider, like, where they've been.
I do, not that it's been a bad thing that he's played for his father or But it's a different situation. Like, you're not out there on the island. I have a son as well. And I know, yo, sometimes I got to just drop him off and let him get out there and just figure it out. Otherwise, there will be always a crutch there.
And I feel like in some of Shador's development, you see that in his film, which I do feel like in the right situation and with the right coaches, he will develop his way out of because of the ability he has. It's like when I'm scouting high school receivers and I see a guy from South Florida and then I see a guy from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and I see them in their camp tape.
and I see one kid who's catching the ball at camp in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and he's just running back to the huddle instead of running upfield, which is like, hey, you got to do this. But then I see a guy in South Florida do it.
Knowing the culture down here, knowing the football culture, knowing what you're exposed to at such an early age, then I'm more like, oh, that's a decision for you not to do that versus this guy doesn't have the information. And when I look at Shador's downside, I feel like the situation he's in in some ways has capped him.
like the best version that we could probably expect when we put on the game field.
I'd love to take all the credit. My wife was a really good long jumper. Like a better long jumper than I. Did you run track? I was on the team. I'm like Mike. I was there.
Yeah, I was... No, no, no. It's not soul and valor. I was around. I wasn't helping. I was like a high jumper. I'm shocked. Jumping like 5'2". You know? Wasn't getting a lot of points there. I did triple jump. I did long jump. And I would have these spurts of athleticism where they would, you know... Was your school like a particularly great sports school?
So you were good. You're just being humble. I'm not being humble. It's that the expectation is if you didn't know anything about me, what would you say? You'd be like, oh, you were the 100-meter dash guy. I'd say you was crushing it. No, I was on the 4x1 team.
I didn't figure it out until I got to college. So were you an anchor on the 4x1? I was the third leg. Whoa!
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. No, it was. I am stunned. It was bad. It was bad. I mean, I ran the 100 twice in high school. My best, I ran it as a freshman, and I ran a 13.6, which is not great. Okay. As a freshman.
You're a better teammate than you were earlier. I appreciate that. But in my senior year, I ran 11.33. Okay. Was my, you know, but that's not, like my son is in seventh grade, and he runs a 12.5 in the 100. So what about your jumps? You're a great jumper, right? I was solid. I jumped 20 feet once. Your son had practice yet? Has he what?
