I mentioned 3-cone. It's a common thread in feel-good underdog success tales of dudes who come from out of nowhere to have a decent and sometimes even a spectacular NFL career.

Where the hell did Adam Thielen come from? He wasn't invited to the combine, either, and everybody from high school to his Division II college has said, "I mean, yeah, he's good, but I wouldn't call him anything special."

The answer is his 3-cone. He had a top 20 3-cone, and when combined with adequate speed and vertical/long jump numbers, scrappy gym rats like Thielen can take that plus all the experience with being "the guy" at his shitty school for 4 years, work their ****ing asses off, and scratch and claw their way into finding a niche. And in Thielen's case, his niche was in the NFL record books (most consecutive games with 100+ receiving yards).

Gehrig Dieter doesn't have Thielen's college experience. He doesn't have his 3-cone or his speed or his jump. He MIGHT have his work ethic and attitude.

He's just got nothing. No, I don't care if he's bumming around near the bottom of the roster, but if my troll post from earlier actually comes true and we re-sign that bitch to anything more than he's worth, that's when he's gonna start to feel the wrath of Chiefs fans.

I mean, he could also start producing, but I just don't think it's reasonably possible for him to do anything significant at all.
