The topic of McCaffrey arose. Said Texan played football at the collegiate level and numbers some ex-NFL players among his friends. He thinks McCaffrey goes in the second half of the second round. Great numbers, but ethnic bias and position bias and the Sun Bowl boycott will harm his draft position.
That would seem to be an Aaron Rodgers-esque drop if it happens. Then CMAC will be able to play the "chip on his shoulder" card the rest of his career.
I found myself rooting for CMAC to get that high draft pick more than I though I would following the Sun Bowl. My interest in his pro-prospects were pretty low after the boycott, but as news of his "rise" trickles out, I'm hoping he gets that top-15 pick that's being whispered.
