Will Grier is the best player in college football

I don't know where that [big balls narrative] come from, honestly, because I got the best player in college football in Will Grier, so those decisions are pretty easy.

Kyler Murray won the Heisman Trophy in 2018, and Tua Tagovailoa was widely considered the top player; Grier finished 4th in Heisman voting.

The Steelers are a factor in the AFC playoff race

I'm ready to declare the Steelers are back. No, they're a factor. That's what I'm going to call them. They're going to be a factor. They could make some noise. Big Ben plays better when he's dead.

The Steelers finished 9-6-1 and missed the playoffs entirely, so they weren't really a factor in the postseason.

Dez Bryant will be a massive goal-line threat for the Saints

Dez Bryant in Sean Payton's offense is going to be like a goal line threat. He's going to be open because they've got to cover everyone else. And he's going to put up numbers.

Dez Bryant tore his Achilles in practice just two days after signing with the Saints and never played a single snap for the team.

Sean Payton signed Dez Bryant to pick his brain for the Cowboys job next year

My other thing about this is I think Sean Payton signed [Dez Bryant] so that he could pick his brains about the Dallas offense and all the players on that team so that Sean, when he takes the Dallas job next year...

Sean Payton did not take the Cowboys job in 2019; he stayed with New Orleans until 2022.

The Big 12 needs a championship game to avoid being shunned by the playoff committee

The 13th game. That's important. ... if [Oklahoma] could have won their last nine games and then played in a championship game, another high-profile game, I think matters. Those guys that play 13 games and they get hot, they have an opportunity to be able to move up. And the Big 12 has fixed that. So next year at this time we'll be playing a championship game.

The Big 12 did indeed reinstate their championship game in 2017 to help their playoff chances.

Brandon Weeden's NFL career was ruined by being drafted by the Browns

Brandon Weeden's pretty much the same way. ... fortunately he got drafted by the Browns. That'll do it to your career. It didn't quite work out.

Widely accepted sentiment that the mid-2010s Browns were a graveyard for QBs.

Coaches and players can block out media criticism, but it deeply affects their families

Coaches and players, they can block that stuff out pretty easy. Family members, that's a little tougher. ... It doesn't affect Skyler [Howard]. It affects his family. It affects his mom. It affects his brothers. It affects guys that can't go out there and do anything.
