2023 offseason: WR Tet McMillan said its hard for him to watch film and doesn’t watch film by himself

Give me Savion Williams for X/Playmaker.

We have Harris on the roster with Means.

Higgins is more of a Big Z and I'd rather Dant'e Thornton later in the draft for a Big Z or the guy out of Nebraska for a Big Z.

I made a post talking about how something is off about him and he felt over hyped but I wasn’t sure why.

Looks like I’ve got my answer.

Yeah, I posted an article about him on the other thread. That article did him no favors. The just adds on. He's gonna fall.

Knowing the Saints’ recent 1st round draft history in ‘18-‘22, we don’t want to see them potentially blow a top 10 pick on another Charles Rogers. Chasing good college tape and traits at WR, but never getting back a top 10 pick level return as a pro because he potentially doesn’t study the game to become a star.

At minimum, Tet has poor awareness to give those answers to a random person on the most important duty of a pro player. He seemed to have doubled down with conviction in the responses about not studying film.

I mean yea it's a bad look but maybe some of these takes are a little much. Wouldn't take him in the second? I meeeeean

To my knowledge he doesn't have a bad reputation with regards to work ethic, no off the field issues. If this is all we're going by, player thinks watching film sucks, maybe scratching him off as a potential pick at 9 is going a little too far.

I feel like there's some context missing here because there's not a peep about this from anyone else in the NFL draft coverage space. Seems very clickbait-ish

Ain’t no way in hell I’m taking him at 9 if that’s his attitude towards his craft.

I mean it’s not like he was misquoted. He said it himself plain as day.

Before this, he was already being looked at as a mid to late first guy by nearly all teams. I believe it was Daniel Jeremiah reporting that on a video I watched last week. Said he didn’t know of any teams that had him above maybe 13th. Mentioned that sometimes these players get hyped up in the media to a high draft position, but it doesn’t always align with how teams actually view said player. I personally never saw him as a top 10 guy, but I know a lot of members here love him there at 9.

 

[RaisingTheBar]

Definitely not the only NFL player that doesn’t watch football. Some guys are just very good at the game but don’t care much for the fan part of it. Probably should have kept the film watching bit to himself though.

Issue is pair this with what Underhill said how he’s watched tons of film and there’s effort issues. It’s not a good look for the potential 2nd receiver taken in the draft.

We have no idea what they were talking about before the video nor can we tell the nature of the conversation.

IF I were considering drafting the kid at #9. It's definitely something I'd look into again but this video alone doesn't carry much weight.

Yes, the industry has been dropping hints that he's not as high as some people think he is. He has a lot of flaws in his game for someone who is built like a Big X, but might not even be able to play the position in the NFL.

So I chased down the video and what I got from it is a lot less concerning. This was after his freshman season where he was still very young and has yet to fully mature. I'm sure a lot has changed since.

It's really a nothing burger.

 

[woohoosaint]

Ok.
Now there are 2 players that I want us to avoid in the 1st rd.
Sanders and McMillan.

I'm not a big thread ignorer, but this is officially going on the list along side the mock draft thread. UUUUUUGGGGGGGHHH

A lot of you are going to keep orthopedics doctors in business with all of those dislocated knees.
