They've known each other since their college days playing against each other.

He talked about them going "way back" in his post practice presser.

That's actually good to know. Makes me feel a little better. But all this hinges on Sam's decision making. I don't think his other qualities have ever come into question.

[Mr. Scot]

Some more specific comments from McCaffrey about Darnold...

That's because most use the much more common "acclimate."

When you have a RB blurt out something like that, you can guess he is from Stanford or Northwestern. 

Just how bad is the American education system??

Well when teachers make crap compared to other careers with the same amount of school time, what do you expect?

He's known the guy all of five minutes what else is he going to say?

Joking?  He’s known him since his college days, and they did practice together while Sam was still a Jet.  The Jordan Palmer connection.

NFL players knowing each other from college isn't all that uncommon. They haven't played together in the league before yet. Yes familiarity is a good thing but McCaffrey is saying the right things for his young quarterback who the team has invested in. It's basically coach speak for players.

Or it could be that he actually means it and that they are familiar with each other because they were working out together while Sam was a jet.

Of course he means it but Christian isn't the one who will be reading defenses. Hearing about leadership is good but what we all wait to see is the decision making when things are live practice is just that.
