But what I'm trying to get at is that (virtually) nobody gives a shit about Watkins (*not picking on him, pick virtually any college player ever). People care about the Clemson QB, ol' whatshisname. The marketability, the value, exists because of the names on the front not the names on the back. There might be 5 players per decade, possibly less, who are beyond that level.

I never considered for a minute trying to add real names, weights, dreads, etc., to TCY. The good ones are gone so fast. For every Winston or Manziel, there are 10,000 no one but families and MGOBLOG can remember without looking them up.
