I still can't believe the Packers traded up in the 1st rd to get him.
I don't believe it either, but I LOVE it

We could have a thread something like "Schools where players go only to transfer out later ...".

We do. It's called the transfer portal thread. Everybody transfers now. Every school is the school to go to transfer out.

Transferring is the new coolest thing to do in college football. I mean I get it, I'm all for it but as a fan it just makes me think of all the kids that almost transferred at Michigan but stayed to go on to be great. Desmond Howard came *this* close to transferring. Charles Woodson was packing up and getting ready to transfer to the University of Miami. Tom Brady was basically already transferred to Cal until his father told him no. If Brady transfers to Cal would he ever have that Grand Canyon sized chip on his shoulder and push himself to go on to become the greatest QB ever? I doubt it. He even says this himself.

If this transfer portal thing was around back then and the NCAA was passing out waivers to play right away like free candy, Michigan probably would've sucked back in the day. So many players almost transfer but then back out and go on to prove themselves to their team/coaches and have great careers. That's all going out the window now. Everybody wants to transfer to a starting job right away seems like.
