Gil Brandt Win Quotations

He's a lot like (Tom) Landry. He went through the same thing. He got all the good players but didn't win the big one. That's tough to live with, and I think it had taken its toll on Mack.

He chose not to come because he had a paper due the following Monday. The guy has pretty good study habits.

They're all pretty good players, but they aren't great players. That tells you Mack Brown is a pretty good coach, because they were able to win a national championship with just two guys who will be picked in the first round.

In my evaluation of the guy, I think he has really good mechanics and good velocity on the ball, which is a big thing when you play in a stadium that has a lot of wind like (the Jets) do. I think it was a good pick. I'd be really surprised if he doesn't end up being a pretty good player for them.
