This guy, along with Woj, were by far the best follows during the draft this year. Usually had the picks announced at least 1, sometimes 4 or 5 picks before it actually happened. Solid follow on Twitter.

Just another article confirming how awful of a job that would be. I would hate to be them or Adam Schefter. Your entire life is just checking your phone for breaking news.

Awesome story. I can't imagine sacrificing life for this line of work, but props for being such a responsible, driven 22 year old.

No. It's not that simple. You have to be first every time and ALWAYS available.
Otherwise, WOJ and Schefter are both just another guy.

I guess, but I'm sure they still like their job more than 99% of the population. I mean, Woj makes like 2 mil a year. I can handle some rapid fire twittering for 2 mil.
