Underhill on Payton
60minutes, would you agree that by next Monday (if not by Friday) we will all know? I cannot imagine Payton skipping the Senior Bowl if he intends to return.
And of course, for Payton to have a productive time in Mobile, he will need to spend substantial time with the college personnel people before Monday. He can't simply spend 30 minutes reading Walterfootball and show up? The line between success and failure in the NFL is absurdly small. A head coach skipping the normal postseason review process (if he did) and attending the Senior Bowl without doing the requisite homework (especially a head coach as involved in the draft as Payton) would be more than unsettling.
