This is out there but reading the articles about TVD, restrepo, golf, and not even having his receivers phone numbers has really got me wondering about Tyler.
I'm a golf guy. Keep a legit handicap (about a 10). Play once ish a week. Take some lessons. Hit the range once a week. Have a simulator at home.
TVD is a 2.7 handicap. That's a really good golfer.
And he had 10 recorded scores in July. that's a LOT of golf, not counting any scores he didn't record.
You have to be good and play a decent amount to maintain such a low single digit handicap. And he's been playing since he was a kid.
My point is, I think this kid spent a lot of his spring and summer playing golf and reading headlines instead of working with his receivers and getting better at football.
And golfing is an obsession. Hard to be obsessed with golf AND football AND school AND team culture..once golf gets a hold of you it can consume a good portion of your mind, competitive nature, and training/practice.
I know guys like Steph Curry can manage a professional basketball career and still remain a very good golfer. But he's a professional with tons of money. He can pay people to do a lot of the things us ordinary people have to do ourselves.
