This is not exactly a column about Ted Ginn Jr. retiring. He did so recently after 14 NFL seasons, showing the rare speed and relentless work ethic that made then-Dolphins General Manager Randy Mueller draft him in 2007.
This isn’t exactly a column about how Mueller got the pick right, either. Everyone sees that by now, even the unnamed scout who watched first several picks before the Dolphins and said in the draft room, “This is going exactly how we want.”
Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn was available, he meant. Quinn was everyone’s idea then of the perfect pick.
