Ezekiel Elliott probably lacks motivation now that he's been paid his massive contract

Ezekiel Elliott is... time feels about right for him to fake an injury. Well, he got paid. So he's just kind of hanging. If I were him and I got paid 90 million, I probably wouldn't want to go out there and absorb hits and concussions and break bones anymore. I'd rather just chill at home playing Xbox.

Elliott's production dipped significantly after his extension, though whether it was due to motivation or physical decline is subjective.

The eyeball test tells me that DK Metcalf is the fastest human being to ever step foot on grass

DK Metcalf is the fastest human being alive... [PFT: He's very fast but he's not faster than Usain Bolt]. I think he might be. The eyeball test tells me that DK is the fastest human being to ever step foot on grass. It's terrifying how fast he is.

Literally incorrect, as Metcalf is not faster than Usain Bolt, but he recorded one of the fastest speeds ever by a player in pads.

The Seahawks are the pinnacle team in the NFL right now because no matter the situation, things are going to get weird

The Seahawks are just insane... they are the pinnacle team in the NFL right now where no matter what the situation is, you're like, 'It's gonna get weird.' If they're up by ten, shit's going to get weird. They're down by 10, shit's going to get weird.

This remained true for much of the 2020 season, as the Seahawks frequently played in one-score games and high-variance situations.

The Falcons genuinely invent new ways to lose a football game every single week

We have joked that the Falcons invent new ways to lose every single week. It is not a joke. The fact that they lost the game by Todd Gurley his momentum taking him into the end zone... It is incredible that they lost that way. If Todd Gurley just goes down, they win that game.

The 2020 Falcons were infamous for this, blowing multiple 95%+ win probability leads (Cowboys, Bears, and now Lions).

I will never admit to losing a race, even to Randy Moss

I'm never going to say I'm going to lose a race. One of the guys that probably would have presented the biggest challenge probably would have been Darrell Green. I just talked to him the other day too, man. He probably would have been the one that presented the most challenge in the prime.

Inherently unverifiable hypothetical between all-time greats in their primes.

95% of college football players are not going pro

I want these kids to go into the workforce and make a difference, man, because 95% of my [kids] are not going pro. That's for every program, 95% of the kids play for you are not going pro.

NCAA data generally supports that less than 2% of college football players make it to the NFL.

NIL deals at Power 5 schools are often just booster kickbacks, not real endorsements

Tell me what have you seen them [Power 5 recruits] endorse? ... How can you get a million dollars worth of endorsements for a kid at these power fives and nobody sees nothing? ... At least if you say you're going to do something, we got to at least see it. The NCAA should hold people accountable if they say they got a deal.

While NIL collectives often operate with less public commercial output than traditional endorsements, his claim that they are often 'kickbacks' is a widely held but difficult-to-verify industry perspective.
