I found myself comparing Drew and his $70 million contract to the last U.S. player I drafted â€â€

I remember hearing about Tommy being drafted in the 37th round back when he & I graduated in 2003. He was one of those guys that you envied -- all that natural talent. And many of us still envy him.

Not many athletes have the potential to jump 20' in the pole vault *and* score 9,000+ points in the decathlon...but Skipper can. That makes him extremely valuable to a few pro sports. He just needs some coaching and training. He is one twitchin' great athlete.
