First of all, congratulations to JJ McCarthy and Blake Collum. I don't want to take anything away from them by what I'm about to say. And I want to shout out to Ann Arbor. As far as the University of Michigan goes, it's all love from my direction. Concerned.
But with that being said, I don't think either McCarthy or Colm exist in the NFL. I mean, Colm may have the potential to be a superstar, I just don't see it…but I can see him being a valuable role player. But that's just me.
Anyway…JJ, Blake…get the money, boo-boo. (*Kat Williams voice*)
