Cody Shear: A project player that makes sense

All, many on this board debated Jaxson or Cody. Of the two, I thought Cody would pan out based upon family legacy motivators, athleticism and pure motor. DT just launched an awesome article about the length's Cody went too in order to become a Duck and realize his life long dream. With this kids determination, I gotta believe he's going to be contributor in the years to come.

High Points of the Article:
- He hand delivered a letter Taggart and essentially begged WT's secretary to give it to him. The letter was a synopsis on why he would be a great Duck and offer.
- Since he had limited high profile competition that he went 1-on-1 against, he built a custom video spliced/split screened to show how he compares to Hroniss Grasu (pulls, etc.)
- Texted the coaching staff until 2am on Signing Day.

How we can not root for this kid? I really hope he ascends and see's real time at either Center or Guard in 3 years.

He's no longer a recruit so this goes in Autzen stadium section.

Interesting thing I heard, Cristobal really didn't want him, but the kid convinced WT to give him a shot. Hope he proves him right.

Wow, that's called heart and exactly what the team was missing last season.
