I bet he would have been a Hall of Fame safety. But I prefer him at quarterback.
I've never been around anyone who became a pro athlete. It would be interesting to honestly hear whether people who have that exposure knew, or if it was just "Hey, Patrick's pretty good."
If you went to high school with Derrick Thomas, did you see that he had an elite first step? Did Kelce's classmates say, "Wow, that guy's headed for the Hall of Fame"?
In basketball you have a few guys who are obviously going pro quickly and everyone knows it. But in football, the pros are years away when you're a high school kid.
