I can kind of get Dylan, I liked him as well, but you had to understand at the time of his commitment the concern of his size on DL getting blocked by SEC OL 8 weekends a season to consistently hold up in this league or just be somewhat effective consistently. For every Bradley that might have been a contributor in the SEC that are 10 times the number of similar athletes that don’t contribute because they don’t hold up week in week out. But comparing a SWAC player is a stretch.
