You watch spring practice now and it's all about who can run the fastest forty or jump the highest. Back in the 1980s under Coach Dooley we evaluated toughness. I remember watching the 1985 team go through spring drills and you could tell who had it and who didn't by the fourth quarter of the first scrimmage. Now we got five-star recruits transferring out because they're not getting enugh targets in the spring game. The portal has created this culture where kids leave the second things get hard instead of grinding through adversity and earning their spot. We landed Kaiden Prothro and that's great but I want to know if the kid can block when his number gets called not just catch passes against air in shorts and helmets. The NFL saw eight of our guys go in the draft this week and you better believe every single one of them learned toughness the old fashioned way by staying in the program and competing every single day.
