Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion is Pac-12 big (6-6, 229), slow (5.14 40) and has a big arm. Think: He’s a project. Still, Mannion is projected by CBS to be a 3rd or 4th round pick in the NFL Draft. That also means that he could possibly see some camera time, because as I’ve said previously, TV producers like white quarterbacks with hot girlfriends — like Mannion’s girlfriend Megan Lopez. It keeps viewers on edge. “Where will the white guy with the hot girlfriend get drafted?”
Happens every year. Twitter will suddenly care because of the hot girlfriend.
