Just the term being used for what some would like to see added to the WR room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we need a QB from a family that didn’t go to college and grew up poor. Bryce Young also came from money, parents moved him to Santa Ana and his dad owns his own Consulting Firm and gives motivational speeches. Bryce Young graduated from Mater Dei which is a private catholic college. Patrick Mahomes came from more money than probably both. His Girlfriend and brother are probably the two biggest tik tok starts a couple years ago. I really think at the end of the day, how you play will make a difference. People bond with all sorts of different people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac Wilson did not blend well either, so it's a point that is viable to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like some guys who maybe aren't real keen on people of different cultures and ethnicities play just fine......that's the nicest way I can describe some of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 No one in the locker room is going to care one bit how Levis, or anyone, grew up. If they put in the work, they will gain their teammates’ respect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac Wilson did not blend well either, so it's a point that is viable to consider. And Andrew Luck did work. He came from Stanford. His Family came from money. Some people blend well with others. people from the same level and backgrounds don’t always blend well. like @SemperFeistsaid, how they come in and prepare themselves will be how they are judged with the team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Perhaps a better way to frame it: Does Levis seem to be more Andrew Luck or more Josh Rosen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
