I would come out of retirement to play for the Browns for $15-18 million

If Cleveland offered you, let's just say $15 million a year, are you coming back? Absolutely... 15 to 18 a year. I'll be back.

The Browns never offered this, and McNabb remained retired.

I am a better two-sport athlete than Greg Paulus

[Who's a better two-sport Syracuse athlete, you or Greg Paulus?] That would definitely be me. But I will say this about Greg Paulus. Greg Paulus was an All-American in football, All-American in basketball. Chose to play basketball at Duke... I won't say he's better than me, but he played.

Subjective comparison of athletic careers.

Terrell Owens' locker room issues were his own fault

If it happens once, then it's kind of overblown. If it happens twice, let's kind of see what's going on. If it happens more than three times, then sometimes it's maybe not anyone else. It may be you... [His antics] wasn't such a problem until it hit the media. Then now he has to defend himself in the media.

This is a subjective assessment of a locker room dynamic.

Myles Garrett is a 'safe' but questionable number one overall pick due to low sack totals

There are a lot of questions about Myles Garrett, because you look at his sack total and it's very low... As a number one pick, that's rare. If you're coming in as a number one pick and you only have eight sacks... Is he a safe pick? He's a safe pick. But for the Cleveland Browns, if I'm the Cleveland Browns, I'm going to get Jay Cutler.

Garrett became a perennial All-Pro and one of the best pass rushers in the league, making the 'questionable' label incorrect in hindsight.

Deshaun Watson is the best quarterback in the 2017 draft class

I like Deshaun Watson. I think Deshaun Watson has proven he can play in big games... I think Deshaun Watson is probably number one.

Mahomes turned out to be the best in the class, though Watson was very successful early on.

Dalvin Cook is the running back in the 2017 draft class to keep an eye on

I like Dalvin Cook. Now, I know a lot of people have been down on Dalvin Cook because of his injury. I think he's kind of one of those guys that... Jamal Charles is a guy he idolized. I think that's probably the running back that I think people need to keep an eye on.

Dalvin Cook became a multiple-time Pro Bowler and one of the top backs in the league for several seasons, proving McNabb right.
