re: Kellen Mond cut from NFL team

Never understood how Jimbo felt Mond was the seconding coming [minus the stolen crag-legs]. Seemed like he played in the SEC about as long as Bo Nix.

I think the length of his tenure had to do with his dwindling NFL chances, COVID, and Jimbo's head-scratching QB recruiting thereafter.

People forget that he was a pretty touted dual threat coming out of IMG. He was Baylor bound until the Art Briles rape factory was uncovered. He showed flashes of that athleticism through his sophomore year., especially in that game we should have won against #1 Clemson in Kyle Field.

Jimbo made him stiffer, more pocket-based and multiple read oriented, and all that high school athleticism just vanished.

There is a long running debate on whether Jimbo would have been fired earlier had Mond not been one of the few QBs to get his head around Jimbo's one thousand option offensive scheme that confused the s$%t out of everyone else once Mond left.


Anyway, not an NFL caliber QB. He was given chances but not everyone gets to play in the league.
