10. LOL. Yes. I follow NFL news, just not college football. So I've been hearing about him for years.

They've been talking about him since he was a freshman. Hard to avoid hearing about him.

And good for him, going number one. Sounds like a good guy. Too bad Urban Meyer is such a piece of shit, and the Jags have such a un-promising recent management history. Even if he wins he loses by being associated with Meyer for the rest of his life.

I can't muster the time or energy to learn about all these players before the draft when a) I'm starting from zero, and b) most will go to teams I'm indifferent to and half won't even play much -- ever. If they are on teams I am interested in (love or hate) I'll learn about them after the draft, and if they're good pros I'll learn about them by watching them play. So the draft is more of a focused-curiosity inducing exercise for me than the fulfillment of years of following their college careers.
