Sawyer Robertson Skipped Every LinkedIn Assignment in College, and That's the Ultimate Power Move
Listen, I get it. You spent all last season watching Fernando Mendoza carry himself like the most responsible quarterback to ever take a snap. The guy won the Heisman Trophy and was still updating his LinkedIn profile like he was hedging his bets. Even as the consensus number one overall pick in the NFL Draft, Mendoza had a business school backup plan locked down. That's the kind of player your mom wanted you to be.
Sawyer Robertson? Not a chance. According to Jon Gruden, Robertson told him he skipped every single LinkedIn assignment he was given during his college career. Every one. That's not laziness. That's commitment to the bit. That's a guy who looked at the idea of a Plan B and said "no thanks, football or bust."

Here's the thing: I'm usually attracted to guys like Robertson. The ones who don't play it safe. The ones who could do everything wrong off the field but still go out and dominate between the lines. I'm talking about the players who buck the trend, who don't always respect the traditional playbook for life. Those are my guys.
Don't get me wrong. I respect what Mendoza represents. The dude is going to be perfectly fine in life no matter what happens with football. He did literally everything the right way. But Robertson? He's the opposite. He's the "there's no reason to have a Plan B because it distracts from Plan A" type of player. And sometimes, that's the kind of irresponsible confidence I can actually relate to.
The LinkedIn Gamble
Here's where it gets real: I genuinely hope football works out for Sawyer Robertson. I know he hasn't touched his LinkedIn profile in years. I know he's absolutely confident he'll never need to. And I'm rooting for him to be right.
But if he's not? If a few years down the road Sawyer Robertson is out of work and suddenly LinkedIn notifications start pinging about his profile update? Yeah, that's going to be a rough day on social media for ol' Sawyer. That's the risk you take when you go all in.
