KJ Costello was waived by the Chargers prior to the pre-season.  The NFL is a brutal, merciless business.

But then do we care much about Miss St alumni? 

:-)

well he was a Stanford alum first  

Exactly.  And KJ gave us some good games.  He probably should have declared for the draft after his 2018 season; but he came back, got injured, saw the writing on the wall vs. Mills at the end of 2019 and took a gamble on Leach.  It all ended up not panning out for him, which is a shame.

It’s more than a shame.  It was gross mismanagement.  I have no trouble admitting when I’m wrong. So I’m also gonna point out when I’m right. And as soon as he signed with Mississippi State and I saw people on this board talking about him winning a passing title and learning under Leach,  I called foul. Predicted it would be a disaster. And unfortunately was right. It was a ridiculously poor decision to make to go play for a guy who’s never really developed an NFL quarterback in his life and was going for his first year at a school which had essentially no players that had been recruited to fit his style. Whoever gave him that advice gave him really poor advice. What happened to Costello at MSU was completely foreseeable.
