bummer I cant access the link at work. You wrote for SI?

It is written by Robert Klemko who lists 10 things PP is thinking.

Here is a teaser.

1. I think my goal is to be an MVP of the league. I am the top cornerback in the game, and now that Bruce Arians is giving me the opportunity to play offense and special teams, I’ll have the best opportunity to capture that goal and dream of mine.

2. I think my second favorite sport is golf. My best score is a 78. I’ve been telling my wife I want to be a pro golfer after football, but who knows where life will take me. My agent left a set of clubs at my condo when I was living down in Miami before my rookie season two years ago. I went out and swung the clubs a little bit and the bug bit me.

3. I think I should be rated higher in Madden. I’m a 90 right now. I should be rated at least a 96. I think my speed is a 98, so they got that right. I’m thrilled that I get to see myself in the game without having to create myself like I did in college. It’s almost like a dream come true

It's crazy that he is that good in just 2 years of playing. I've been playing for 10 years and my best score is a 79. Granted he can afford lessons a lot more than I can.

Such a weird format. So did PP say these things? Did PP tell the author this is what he was thinking? Did all ten thoughts come out at the same time?

What if he had only been thinking about 8 things at the time? Or 17?

No doubt... and he's self-taught to boot. He's never taken a lesson! He's a freak!!

Notice how he doesn't say how many holes that is?

Yeah, but even if he doesn't take any lessons he can literally play every day during the offseason if he wanted to. Either way though it is pretty impressive.

I think PP inadvertently admitted to having an agent before his rookie season.

Which is fine as long as it was after the college season.

Why should it be a problem for a player in his last college season to hire an agent? Just another stupid NCAA rule because it doesn't give his college team an advantage in recruiting him. It's like not allowing football players to have jobs. As long as some booster isn't paying them for not working and they get the same pay as other employees at the same level and actually do the work they are hired for it should be fine.
