Zach Miller's gruesome non-catch against the Saints was definitely a touchdown

It was a touchdown. Yes, it was a touchdown... and almost lost his leg for a non-touchdown. It was crazy.

The NFL later changed the catch rule in 2018 partly due to plays like this, suggesting Payton's view aligns with the league's eventual correction.

The best drafts in NFL history are built in the 2nd through 4th rounds

I think the key for us are we try to look closely at what are the things that these players that we've hit on have in common... the great drafts in our league history consist of second rounders, third rounders, fourth rounders.

This is a scouting philosophy that is generally accepted by successful NFL front offices.

Patrick Mahomes would have been the target for the Saints at pick 11 in 2017

Mahomes certainly would have been a target at 11 [in the 2017 NFL Draft]... Mahomes certainly would have been a target at 11.

This has been corroborated by multiple sources in the years since, establishing it as a historical fact of the Saints' 2017 draft board.

Joe Flacco is an 'elite' quarterback because he won a Super Bowl

I think when you win a Super Bowl at that position, the way he played, you're elite.

The definition of 'elite' is subjective and a perpetual debate in sports media.
