What's this?

Highlight tapes are often misleading.


If a player can take a whole season or more and condense into two minutes of highlights I bet I could make even a crappy player look good.

We had local high school kid here sign with an ACC school two years ago. His highlight tape made him look like all world. He was sporadic in games. Would throw 5 TD and 3 bad interceptions. Had no ability to read defenses. But an acc school signed him. He has little or no chance of playing there and will likely transfer downstream.

Won’t mention the team because his parents live nearby. But his highlight tape made him look like Dan Marino.
