Todd McShay

I was going down to Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl.

I think it was the McShay show, the first time we went on the road, right?

Yeah.

And I got the list from Jim Nagy, who was the executive director at the time, and I hadn't watched.

I'd seen all the quarterbacks and studied them.

I hadn't done much on Shuck, so I did a little bit prior to that.

During the week, I really liked them, and then I came back before the Combine.

And I went in like full on diving in film room, then like got to know, you know, talk to some people, some scouts about his background, what he's been through.

And it just clicked for me.

I'm like, why not?

He's more emotionally mature and has been through more.

He was in Trevor Lawrence's recruiting class.

Wow.

And part of that, like, Elite 11 and was, like, supposed to be one of the next guys.

You know, he was Herbert's, excuse me, heir apparent at Oregon.

And then he bounced all around and wound up at Louisville with Brom, who kind of, both the Broms, who wound up, like, getting it out of him.

And the light finally, you know, turned on.

And so I just...

And his makeup and his love for the game.

And he's kind of a junkie and he's always around it.
