Rare when a player shows his best stuff as a rookie and then falls off.


That was Shayne Graham's sister. Been a while.

I have a grandson that is a sophmore in college and starting last summer, he was hired to go around the country and put on camps. He informed at the Chase camp, Chase was paid $200K for the camp (Iam sure Mac was paid a lot less) whixh I always they did it for the community and not for money.

My issue though is not that he was paid, my issue is he did nothing to meet or thank any of the staff members, he did not show up daily and when he did it was for short periods of time. I love Chase the player, but very disappointing to me he treated those doing the work at his camp so rudely.

So for Mac who likely made a lot less money, that is awesome he worked with your grandson and I would venture to guess Mac thanked his staff. On a side note, he said the company he works for turned down Josh Allen, he wanted $400K to show up for 3 hours of camp.
