Tyjae puts a smile on my face, whether he's doing something Tyjaesque or interviewing, I cannot help but smile. He's a fine young man, I wish him all the best and am excited to watch him play on Sundays.

He is so real and comfortable in his skin. He just tells the truth and doesn’t care if other people think it’s weird.

Absolutely. A completely down to earth young man. There isn't a fake bone in his body--he's as real as real can get.

The amazing thing is that Fritz has a team of these really fine young men and that they can flat out play. They’re good people and ballers.

Bowden had the same on the 98 team and the Christian prayer angle was a good jell too.

Early 3rd round? I bet he goes higher than that.

If this was 20 years ago, I’d agree. But today RB’s aren’t valued nearly as high. Recently it’s been the very end of the first round or 2nd round before the first one is chosen. Spears in the 3rd round makes a lot of sense, and I bet he outperforms half the RB’s taken ahead of him.

3rd round will be a steal for anyone that gets him.

The draft is hardly the rocket science the NFL wants us to think it is. Best player/team needs Rounds 1 and 2, then value. NFL teams live and die on their picks after the second round,

And the talking mouths that call themselves "draft experts" know nothing more than anyone else. They have zero talent grading abilities, and just regurgitate things that have been written and said by others.

This is some lazy ass reporting/analysis here. Six RBs in the top 100, Three more in the close but not quite. NONE are Tyjae Spears. Where has this guy been the last six months?

That team was closed knit, no doubt. But Teevens recruited at least half of them.
