I am just trying to figure out whose opinion could have that much sway amongst the league that he would drop that far. Unless he completely bombed every meeting. NFL is a copycat league. I could see if word got out that Brady didn't like his responses and was out on him that teams would reassess their positions. If the GOAT thinks you suck, that carries a lot of weight compared to some QB coach for a crappy team.
I guess it could be a cumulative thing where he pissed off a couple teams at the combine and then did poorly in interviews and the entire league decided "too much negative, this kid ain't worth it".
I think he just had too much baggage for a QB that teams mostly thought wasn't likely to be a franchise savior.

That makes sense for why he wasn't picked early but he should still have been good value in the third round. We discussed it last week. It seems a point was being made.

For sure. I'd probably lean towards "all of the above" as the explanation, but maybe the Browns broke rank, because they were high on his talent and wanted to humiliate him for snubbing them.

If I were him, I'd lean into it hard. He should try to wear #5 for the team, since he's 5th string and went in the 5th.
