    SI article on opt-outs featuring Rousseau

    Paye has a chance to be a good player in the right system because he's high character and twitchy. For me, I'm going with the longer, more productive players that are also good athletes.

    Me and Jeremiah see this one the same although we are increasingly in the minority. This looks like another Calais situation to my eyes. @BoxingRobes and @HighSeas , who are your top rushers in this draft? I think we all agree Jaelan Phillips is the man and a top 10 talent. Who do you like...

    SI article on opt-outs featuring Rousseau

    He opted out because his mom was a COVID nurse and she begged him to do it. Obviously, it was not the best football decision. He would’ve gotten double-digit sacks in his sleep and been a lock Top 10 pick. Now he’s looking at a potential Calais Campbell situation.
