THROWING COMPETITION: Russell Wilson vs top HS QB in Minnesota

This dude off the street is better than all of us

[George Jarjour @GeorgeOnTap]

Jadarian Price never started a single game in college while at Notre Dame. Never had more than 15 touches in one. He got drafted in the first round by the Seahwks, and the reason he was even available to draft is a choice almost nobody makes anymore: he chose to stay a backup.

The setup first. Price signed with Notre Dame, then tore his Achilles as a true freshman in 2022, the injury that ends most running backs before they start. He recovered, and came back to a depth chart with Jeremiyah Love in front of him, a back so good he went third overall this year. So Price had two paths. Behind an elite starter, he could transfer to a program that would hand him the job and 250 carries, put up huge counting stats, and chase the spotlight. In 2026 that isn't the risky move. It's the default. The transfer portal exists precisely so talented backups don't have to wait.

He stayed.

Three years at Notre Dame, backing up Love, taking the smaller share. 1,692 yards and 21 touchdowns across three seasons, on limited touches, because he was never the feature. NFL teams asked him about it directly. Every one of them wanted to know why he didn't leave for easier volume.

Here's the answer, and here's the lesson.

Price bet that being efficient in a great situation was worth more than being a workhorse in a lesser one. And the NFL agreed with him emphatically. Scouts didn't care that he had only 113 carries his final season. They cared that the carries were elite. He ran a 4.49 forty at 203 pounds. He averaged 37.5 yards per kick return in 2025 and took three of 22 career returns to the house. The tape was cleaner precisely because there was less of it, and none of it was padding.

That's the counterintuitive part. Volume can actually hurt you. A back with 300 carries has 300 chances to put bad reps on film. Price had a small sample of nearly perfect ones, and in a scouting process built on projecting upside, a clean small sample beat a noisy large one. He looked like unused potential instead of a known quantity, and unused potential is what first-round picks are made of.

The deeper lesson is about the trade everyone gets wrong. The transfer-portal logic says maximize your opportunities, get the ball, rack up the numbers, be the guy. Price made the opposite bet: protect the quality of your work even if it means less of it, and stay in the room where the standard is highest even if it costs you the spotlight. He'd rather be the second-best back on a team full of first-rounders than the best back somewhere nobody was watching.

Being the featured star in a weaker situation is the loud choice. Being the efficient piece in an elite one is the quiet choice. The loud choice looks better on the stat sheet every single Saturday. The quiet choice looked better exactly once, on the night it mattered, when his name got called in the first round and the transfers who chased carries watched from home.

Now Mike Macdonald is on Hard Knocks saying "dang, number 8 is fast," and Price is stepping into the job Kenneth Walker left behind. He waited three years for a starting job in college and never got one. He'll get his first real one in the NFL. The kid who refused to pad his stats is about to find out what he can do when they finally hand him the ball.

Sometimes the smartest career move is to stay in the harder room and take the smaller role. The numbers will look worse. The people who actually decide your future will notice anyway.

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."

Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.

Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.

When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.

Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.

Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.

Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.

He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.

Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.

I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.

God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.

You ran a good race, my friend.

We've got it from here.

When I ran for Congress at 23 years old, Charlie Kirk was one of the first people to believe in me and endorse my grassroots campaign.

That’s because Charlie Kirk believed in the potential and promise of young people across our country, and he inspired millions of them to get involved in politics and fight for our nation’s conservative values.

Charlie positively changed the course of American history, and his legacy will live on.

I am praying that God covers Charlie’s wife, Erika, and their two beautiful children in His love. I pray they are comforted knowing Charlie is in Heaven with the Lord.

“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” John 11:25-26

[First Lady Melania Trump @FLOTUS]

Charlie’s children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs instead of laughter, and silence where their father’s voice should have echoed.

Charlie Kirk’s life should serve as a symbolic reminder that compassionate awareness elevates family, love, and country.
