The NFL personnel man thumbed on his iPhone and sent the text message early last week.
what if your boy just isn’t that good?
He was talking about Marcus Peters. He and I have talked a lot about Marcus Peters, and the conversation could generally be summed up by us agreeing Peters is a terrific player but disagreeing on whether he was ultimately worth the trouble.
The text was the first time in the conversation — a year old by now, in one form or another — that either of us considered the possibility that Peters is not one of the NFL’s best 20 or so cornerbacks.
