How the national media completely ignored Zach Durfee all seson and then acted shocked when he got drafted? ESPN literally had to call him "Prospect X" like they discovered some hidden gem. No, he was at Washington the whole time, putting in work, developing in our system. But because we are not Ohio State or Alabama, they refuse to acknowledge our guys until the NFL tells them they are good. The fact that Durfee went from relative obscurity on the national radar to getting his name called in the draft. We do not get the hype machine, we do not get the five-star labels, we just produce. And when our guys hit the league, suddenly everybody wants to act like they knew all along. Where was the love during the season? Where were the draft analysts talking him up in September? It is the same story every single year with us. We have to be twice as good to get half the recognition. The ESPN list with under-the-radar players for each team is cute and all. Maybe they are under the radar because the national media has a blind spot for the Pacific Northwest that is frankly embarrassing at this point.
