From what I’m seeing apparently Gannon insinuated that he was gonna stay in his Philly eventhough he likely knew he was going to Arizona because of the tampering. So Vic took interviews elsewhere. Vic was likely going to become DC in Philly had Gannon not lied.

I’m all for LEGAL gun access, but what Ja is doing sets a precedent for young kids looking up to him that being careless with a firearm is ok
Kendrick Law has genuinely been a Swiss army knife for Alabama this season.
His role has slowly increased throughout the past few weeks. As a player with 10.48 100M speed who can block, play out wide, or even in the backfield, I'm ecstatic to watch his continued development.
