The best part was during the next prospect interview when Eli came back and knocked on the window.

The next question, “how would you say you compare with the DBs coming out of Syracuse?,” was subtler, but even more perplexing.

Twitter itself defeated that idea the moment it conceived it.

“O Byron, fear not condemnation mine / I’ve known it this entire fucking time”
