I would have been a bust even if I was drafted by the Colts instead of the Chargers

Do you think anything's different in your career if you go to the Colts instead of the Chargers? No, most likely not. It was me, right? It was my issue. So it really didn't matter geographically where I went.

A counter-factual historical claim that can't be proven, but coming from the subject himself, it carries significant weight.

Golf needs an asshole like Patrick Reed

I love Patrick Reed. I do love this man. He is a basic bitch. He's a man baby. On the golf course. He's a man baby. He's amazing. Yes, he's an asshole, but golf needs an asshole.

This is subjective, but Reed has remained a highly controversial and 'villain' figure in the golf world, particularly with his move to LIV Golf.

The Masters course was 'on PEDs' because of painted roots and soft conditions

You could see the green spray paint on the bottom of the tree on the root system. So it looks like we were a little bit woke on that. The course is on PEDs. The course didn't show up this weekend... The course choked.

Ricky Fowler cannot win a major wearing a 'candy-ass' uniform on Sunday

I also feel bad for Sergio... I mean, we've long stood, you know, the Miami Dolphins, the Oregon Ducks. Teams that wear candy-ass uniforms in big-time moments, they just aren't as intimidating. And Ricky went with the creamsicle today, and I like Ricky. But I'm thinking maybe on Sundays in the majors, he needs to tone it down a little. You can wear the candy-ass uniforms after you bring home a title.

Fowler famously has never won a major championship despite many close calls, including this runner-up finish at the 2018 Masters.

The opiate epidemic is much more harmful to the NFL player culture than marijuana

I do believe in the fact that the opiate epidemic is much more harmful to the player culture than marijuana would ever be. The continuation of them pumping players with opiates rather than finding some alternative is what is problematic to me.

This is widely supported by medical experts and former players who have criticized the NFL's historic 'Tordol' and opioid culture.

NFL Draft prospects must understand they are CEOs of Fortune 500 companies

You've got to understand for the next, you know, four or five months, this is locked in time... You are going to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, essentially. I never looked at it that way. Of course, I see it completely different now, and that's the way you have to look at it. You are the head of a foundation, of an organization, and you can be for a long period of time.

While Mayfield was the #1 pick, his career was marked by the exact 'optics' and personality issues Leaf warned about before eventually finding more stability later.

Josh Rosen thinks like LeBron James

He thinks like LeBron James thinks. He does. He loves football. He wants to be the best quarterback to have ever played, and what goes with that is most likely being in the biggest market, which could be the New York Giants. And that allows him for so many other business. He wants to be all that.

Rosen's NFL career did not match this comparison, as he bounced around several teams and failed to become a franchise cornerstone or a business mogul in a major market.
