Dukes of Awesome


I am McLovin

1st pick – Leodis McKelvin – CB – Troy

Pros:

Cons:

  • Hands like rocks
  • Trojan Man means you can’t feel a thing (Durex: Power is nothing without control)
  • Not actually Irish
  • Shares hometown with Burt Reynolds, Billy Beer*

Somehow, the Bills drafting Leodis McKelvin was a big surprise to draft pundits. The best corner in the draft – even if available – was projected to be passed over by the Bills. Obviously, someone underestimated the Ivy-league eggheads of the Bills braintrust. Which is OK by me.

I could expand on McKelvin’s history, but I found this one statistic, from his official Troy University bio, utterly astonishing:

Leads the Trojans in all-purpose yards despite having not taken an offensive snap.

Think about that. McKelvin was better than THE ENTIRE OFFENSE. I have no way to follow that with anything rational. FREAKING AWESOME.

* might be a plus
