Just a reminder, Roschon Johnson was a higher-rated QB prospect than guys like Max Duggan and Dillon Gabriel. For him to give that up AND not enter the portal to start somewhere else is pretty mind-blowing. There’s a reason Sam Ehlinger called RoJo “selfless.”

Terry Bradshaw’s history of comments on QBs:
-Tom Brady is NOT the GOAT
-Drew Brees’ NFL record 54 straight games w/ a TD Pass “didn’t blow me away”
-Packers should’ve kept Mike McCarthy over Aaron Rodgers
-Sam Ehlinger “ain’t that good.”
I’d say Sam’s in pretty good company.
