Sawyer Robertson Told Jon Gruden He Skipped Every LinkedIn Assignment in College, and That's Either Brilliant or Disastrous
Look, I get it. We just spent all of 2025 watching Fernando Mendoza operate like he was built in a lab by your mom. The guy won the Heisman, and you know what he was still doing? Updating his LinkedIn. Even after the trophy ceremony. That's the kind of quarterback discipline that makes you sleep easy at night, knowing that if football doesn't work out, your guy is still going to be fine.
But then you've got Sawyer Robertson, and this dude operates under a completely different code.

According to reports, Robertson told Jon Gruden that he skipped every single LinkedIn assignment he was given in college. Not some. Not most. Every one. This is a guy who genuinely believes there's no reason to have a Plan B, because a Plan B just distracts from Plan A. And Plan A is apparently getting paid to throw a football.
Look, philosophically, I respect it. I spent most of my life gravitating toward the kind of players who could do everything wrong and still dominate. The guys who don't necessarily "respect the game" in that corporate sense. The mavericks. The guys who buck the trend.
Here's What Makes This Actually Terrifying
Mendoza's got insurance. If his football career goes sideways, that dude has a business degree and a LinkedIn portfolio thicker than a Tim Tebow autobiography. Robertson? He's all in. No backup plan. No safety net. No professional network to fall back on if things get rough.
I really do hope it works out for him. I can see that his LinkedIn hasn't been touched in years. The guy is confident he'll never need it. And man, I hope he's right. Because if things don't go according to plan, and people get that LinkedIn notification down the road saying "Sawyer Robertson has updated his profile?" That's going to be a genuinely rough day on social media for Sawyer.
Sometimes you root for the irresponsible guy anyway. Because I can relate to him more than I can relate to the guy who's got everything figured out. Either way, we'll find out soon enough if Robertson's all-in approach pays off.
