Smith, \u201cMy antenna are up when I notice one, two, and three this year, white, guy, white guy, white guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith, noting that Ohio State quarterback\u00a0Justin Fields\u2019s position in the draft has slipped since Ohio State defeated Clemson in the Sugar Bowl earlier this year, stated, \u201cAnd to go from the number two pick, or the number two quarterback, rather, to number five, where you got literally four quarterbacks ahead of you? I\u2019m just looking at it and saying what the hell is going on here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSo for me, the only reason I say I would have a problem, if you\u2019re telling me he\u2019s not that guy, then I want to know what the hell was everybody saying what they said before, when the college football season ended, because they were the ones telling us, \u2018It\u2019s Trevor Lawrence and then it\u2019s Justin Fields.\u2019 And we didn\u2019t hear any of those other names. As a matter of fact, media speculation was that Mac Jones was going to be a middle or late first-round pick. And now we\u2019re talking about he\u2019s going number three overall? I got a problem with the evaluations that were evidently prematurely put out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, a lot of football people really like Mac Jones the more they look at him,\u201d Kellerman opined of the University of Alabama quarterback. \u201cLike you, Stephen A., I will defer to their wisdom. But I will say this: I think what rubbed people the wrong way \u2014 maybe like you, Stephen A., I know it\u2019s on my radar, is that sometimes quarterbacks rise, sometimes they fall, but what I\u2019ve noticed, in recent years after decades of artificial barriers being put in place for black quarterbacks, \u00a0that vis-a-vis white quarterbacks, black quarterbacks in the draft tend to fall pre-draft, their evaluation. And sometimes it\u2019s right; Daniel Jones\u00a0looks like he\u2019s going to be better than\u00a0Dwayne Haskins. And sometimes it\u2019s wrong.\u00a0Mitch Trubisky\u00a0is not as good as\u00a0Deshaun Watson\u00a0or certainly not\u00a0Patrick Mahomes, right. I say Watson, because he seems to be the guy falling and Trubisky the guy rising and Mahomes maybe didn\u2019t do either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the point is the correlation that can be made is that your status falls vis-a-vis white quarterbacks,\u201d Kellerman continued. \u201cSo that\u2019s why my antenna are up when I notice one, two, and three this year, white, guy, white guy, white guy. But, that may be correct. We need to see, in the end, we need to see, how these guys turn out as pros.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe top four average annual salaries in the NFL are owned by black quarterbacks, Mahomes, Dak Prescott, Watson and Russell Wilson,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/sports\/espns-max-kellerman-calls-out-nfl-for-trend-of-black-qbs-stock-falling-before-draft-this-years-top-3-are-white-guy-white-guy-white-guy\/\">Mediaite<\/a> notes.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
