Very rarely do I like to soapbox for one of my players, but if this guy is not in serious consideration, all the people involved in the process are missing the boat. This guy had his side cut open. The way he's pitched, it needs to be recognized.

He has always been kind of singled out and we want to try and have him be one of 25 and fit in to that approach.
