From an Athletic article:

On Iowa State edge Will McDonald

DL coach 1: “He played as a true 5-technique and balled out, and then they isolated him on guards and he wasn’t scared to go in. He’s probably the most twitchy guy in the whole D-line group. You can’t teach that kind of bend. He’s very much like Haason Reddick and Brian Burns.”

DC 1: “I think he’s really good. He’s a 6-4, 250 guy, but his movement ability is elite. He can really bend. He’s not as powerful or long Brian Burns, but he’s got that same kind of bend. At the Senior Bowl, they didn’t block him the whole week.”

Not a true story. Is a weird Draft Day joke. But lots of people who don't know that and see the tweet will now think LVN is a thief. Hilarious.

It will just be a blip but I'd call it a pretty gross joke.

A lot of times, a lot of our fan base has unrealistic expectations. Will is no doubt first round talent, and teams know that, but his interview with the chiefs was one of the worst they had, so let’s hope his other interviews went better, or else he may not go in the first

Aha, there it is, finally.

It’s well known Mahomes sits in on every interview, and Will chose to wear his “66-10” shirt.

I’d rather not get into the details but two of the things they said was it was “one of the worst interviews they’ve had” and “it’s going to cost him millions of dollars.”

I was surprised to hear the finer details, because Will seems like such a good dude whenever he’s been interviewed by media that covers ISU

When the draft is over I hope you are honest and come back and let us know if the team you heard this from actually drafted him or not.

Keep in mind, he could have gotten the info from a legit source and that source was telling him a bunch of BS. A team could be saying this to scare off others (which actually makes a lot of sense because we haven't heard an ounce of any character issues with Will in the past). The Colts GM pretty much said everybody is lying so they can gain any advantage.

I posted a few posts later with the team who said that.. so I can come forward now and say the chiefs will not be drafting him. ..and I hope his interviews went better with other teams than it did with the chiefs
