Ah, you got me. Still wild though. That was the least wild of the coincidences, tbh. +1 to you for catching a mistake though. I went ahead and fixed the post.
That said, 12 rounds or not, QB's taken in the 6th were mostly fliers. Afterthoughts.
Blake was the 3rd stringer when he arrived in Cincy, and no one expected anything when he finally got a start.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
