On the topic of the St. Louis Battlehawks and Cody Schrader, the hometown United Football League team and its fans should practice one of the longstanding rules of birdkeeping: Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
The B-hawks made a smart and exciting call this week, drafting St. Louis native and former University of Missouri star Cody Schrader in the UFL’s college draft.
It could become a brilliant move.
One, because Schrader is a stud, as evidenced by his rise from overlooked Truman State transfer to 2023 Southeastern Conference leading rusher. And two, because his Mizzou star status would give locals another reason to be fired up about heading down to the Battle Dome next season.
