Let Me Tell You Something: Stopwatches Don't Measure What's Between Your Ears

Big Sal hasn't even finished his second cup of coffee and he's already screaming at the TV. Every talking head on NFL Network is losing their mind over Arkansas QB Taylen Green — 4.36 forty, 43.5-inch vertical, six-foot-six and 227 pounds of pure athletic spectacle. But Big Sal has one question: can the kid actually play quarterback?

• Taylen Green went 2-10 at Arkansas with 11 interceptions, a 38.6% completion rate under pressure, and 27 sacks — but sure, let's crown him because he can jump
• The NFL graveyard is full of combine freaks: Anthony Richardson (benched for Flacco), JaMarcus Russell (25 starts, done), Vernon Gholston (zero sacks in three years), and Stephen Hill (45 career catches)
• Tom Brady ran a 5.28 forty, looked like a substitute math teacher at the combine, and won seven Super Bowls — the stopwatch doesn't measure what's between your ears
• This QB class is weak after Fernando Mendoza, and desperation plus combine hype is a dangerous combination
