I thought this guy was all about avoiding nightshades?

His name is Whett Thudd. Modern scouts, with their algorithms and advanced metrics, will tell you he’s too small and too slow to make an NFL roster. But what those bean-counters can’t see on their spreadsheets, what old-school football men know in their hearts, is that this former Appalachian State standout linebacker…

I mean, he is a teenager who handed over one of the most powerful weapons in the world to the first surrogate Dad he came across.
