I am guessing those things are what kept him down the depth chart in his first few years at SC. It's not like it took him until this last year to reach level 50 and evolve into his current physique. Dude had the physical tools. Either he's slow at learning routes/plays or he was lazy on plays that he wasn't involved with.

His history is weird/interesting.

Played QB in high school.

South Carolina had awful coaching in place when he got to South Carolina.

COVID happened.

He was injured in a car/motorcycle accident as a sophomore.

The scheme was trash and the QB was trash until his last two years.

His work ethic and effort have actually been consistently praised by the current coaching staff.

How many times have you heard a coach be like "yeah.... he's a lazy twat" ? I can't recall. Generally coaches hype people in public. I just see the lack of effort on tape, acrual game footage, not his highlight reel. Also, check out his stats against good opponents. He is baller against weak opponents and disappears against good teams. I'm not saying he can't be a success in the NFL but it'll take a few years at a minimum.

Jermaine Burton, for one.

They don't say it publicly but they don't appear to have a problem saying it behind the scenes. Seems like nobody likes Jermaine very much...

Jermaine Burton is this year's George Pickens, but not quite as good IMHO

Yeah, I've come to the point where I think you take the guy in Round 3 or 4 and roll the dice.

The talent is worth it. I still see a lot of Stafon Diggs with him.

Agree on all fronts, but what about my Super Bowl commercial pitch? lol
