Humbled and blessed (1 Viewer)

"Humbled and blessed to be a part of this locker room. I can't wait to get down there and..."

Know which one of our draftees said these words (or almost these EXACT words)?

Every. Single. One.

While I like the sentiment, I'd believe it was genuine more if whoever passed out the scripts had varied them a little from player to player.

They learn the same script for college recruiting, but they can no longer use "Please respect my decision".

I can barely make coherent thoughts in my early-50s, so it's too much to expect young men to be engaging speakers.

Or

They are actually humbled and they do actually feel blessed. They just realized a life long dream of being selected to play for a real NFL team. They're part of the 0.001%. They're heading into the greatest challenge of their lives where they will compete with the best athletes in the world.

Many of these guys know that shirt is about to get real. You can come in humble or you can be humbled. If someone is feeding them advice, it's sound advice.

yeah pretty much all 20 year-old stud athletes are super humble

I mean it was obvious that each of our draftees was fed a line from the Saints PR. Listen to each one, there are the same buzzwords every time. They made sure to have each rookie say the word "culture".

To me it’s just a little insulting when it’s obvious everyone was told to saythe same thing. Not just the nfl for sure.

And that doesn’t mean.that some of these guys are not truly humble, and really appreciate this special opportunity they’re given.
I’m sure some are. But I think we all know, hard to be humble when you’re young, rich and good looking.
