Seeing Sage go undrafted really reminded me of Dortch. Sage is one of the best players I can remember watching at Wake and I’m bummed we never got to see him achieve what he should have, which is probably a late 2nd early 3rd round selection.
It's just really weird that he was being graded as a 2nd or 3rd round pick before he sat out and then laid an egg at the senior bowl and ran the 40 hurt and it knocked him out of the draft. Newman, I get. Super hyped and then flaked out on two teams. Sage isn't a character issue, clearly could play when healthy and has great size. Maybe he wasn't really hurt and they just put that out there to cover for the terrible 2021. I feel bad for him and hope he proves everyone wrong.
