How about if the Rams cut him on last cutdown and Goodell expresses his 'extreme disappointment' that he didn't make the Rams' squad?
Can you name one other player in NFL history any league president has said he hopes is drafted and makes the team?

I don't know that he's ever been asked. I imagine that's a go-to phrase when asked about anyone, though.
"I hope he makes it." I don't think its as heavy as you make it out to be.
Yeah, if he expressed disappointment about someone being cut, I think he would be out of line, because its a reaction to a team making a decision. Saying "I hope he is drafted," or "I hope he makes it," doesn't undercut the team at all.
