Nowhere in the NFL touches college football. Death Valley, Kyle Field, Neyland are so far beyond what the NFL can muster and it isn’t close.

To be fair, Joe has never played at Arrowhead. Having said that, he is in for a rude awakening. There is no place louder in sports and it’s not up for debate.

Just a reminder that @Edwards_Bryan4 has at least one catch in every college football game he's ever played in. His 108 catches through 2 seasons are the second most in South Carolina history - trailing only some guy named Alshon.
