Back in February, former NFL quarterback Jordan Palmer, who trained both Love and Burrow in the lead-up to the draft, said that Love was a top-10 pick. In fact, he said that Love had the best arm of any quarterback in the draft, although he also described him as the most raw. This clip, from The Pat McAfee Show, is worth a watch:

Thanks. I found it interesting.

The optimist in me says GREAT, WONDERFUL, and THAT'S FREAKEN AWESOME.
The cynic in me says of course Palmer is going to say that. Love is on of the guys he worked with. Top ten picks fail to make it in the NFL all the time or at least live up to the "Top Ten" standards we associate with the pick.

As if something is positive for any player, he mentions it, but if it's a negative, he either says it, but doesn't connect a name to it, or if it already has a name connected, he doesn't go into detail.

As the video shows, he talks positive about his competition, which as he mentions, he doesn't see as competition, as the demand is so high, and their isn't enough of a supply of guys that actually know what they're talking about.


Also as Palmer mentions, his job (in his mind), has zero to do with the draft, he doesn't care if a guy get drafted #1 or #75.

His job I'm his mind is to have the players prepared no matter where they end up for their rookie season
