Quote: For what it's worth,  on Sirius Radio earlier today,  host Rich Gannon agreed that if it looks like Drew Brees won't be healthy enough to play,  it's in the Saints best interest to start Garrett Grayson.  

 

  Being that you have known about Garrett Grayson before all of us or at the very least the vast majority of us,  was there are specific point in time you first believed he would be become an NFL QB?

He shattered records in high school, at Heritage HS in Football and was very successful in Track also. I seen a couple of his games live, while he was still in high school. Definitely one of the best athletes on the field then and he played multiple positions.

 

I always had hopes that he would at least get a shot at the NFL, possibly as an UDFA. His Junior and Senior years at Colorado State convinced me that he should definitely be a draftable prospect. He had injury issues his sophomore season, if I remember correct and only had limited playing time as a freshman. I didn't think he would have been drafted in the 3rd round, but I was happy to see it.

 

You could clearly see flashes of greatness in HS, but that can be said about a lot of athletes who never became anything after HS. He still has plenty he needs to work on, but I'm sure he's getting some great schooling with Brees and Sean Payton around.

 

I'll always be pulling and rooting for him, no matter what.
