Harold Fannin Jr. is The Only Person in The World Not Impressed By Harold Fannin Jr.'s Overtime TD vs New Orleans
C'mon... You thought your touchdown would look cool, Harold? You thought treating NFL defenders like like Make-A-Wish children who were so riddled with cancer that you decided the humane thing to do was put them out of their misery by spiking them through the turf... you thought that would lood good on camera? Please. Harold Fannin Jr. is gonna have to do A LOT better than this if he wants to impress Harold Fannin Jr.
I actually feel like I know where Harold Fannin is coming from. It's the same reason people knocked him when he came out of college. He's not the most graceful runner in the world. He's fast enough. He's big enough. But he's a great tight end for his ability to catch footballs, and because there are like, 5 total players in the NFL who can tackle him solo. When Harold Fannin Jr. is running in the open field, I bet he feels like Carl fucking Lewis. I bet he feels like a gazelle. A gazelle with the strength of a herd of elephants. But when he watches himself on tape... sure he's got the strength... sure he refuses to be tackled... but even as a Harold Fannin's biggest supporter, I must admit, he's a little bit clumsy-looking when he runs. On that touchdown, he looked more like a drunk bull in a china shop than he did Derrick Henry steamrolling defenders without breaking a stride.
Not enough people are talking about Harold Fannin. And there are a lot of people talking about him. I have a bad feeling that Harold Fannin Jr. is about to be the Joe Thomas of tight ends. He's going to spend his whole career as a top 5, maybe eventually top 1 tight end in the NFL on a team that's just never good enough to be taken seriously. The man was born and raised in Canton, Ohio, an hour away from Cleveland. He went to college in Bowling Green, Ohio. Now he plays for the Browns. Idk what his motivations are, but it wouldn't shock me if he's a guy who never leaves Cleveland, simply because his whole life is in Ohio.
I bet there's also part of him that would love to be one of the guys to bring a Super Bowl to Cleveland. He grew up in the area. He knows what that would mean. Unfortunately, in the game of football, a single player can't do that. Especially if he's not a quarterback. You know that story Joe Thomas told about how he broke down in tears because he realized he had played the perfect game and still lost to the Patriots by 30?

I'm sorry, I shouldn't put that out in the Harold Fannin Jr. universe. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about it.
One more thing: I'm starting a petition to retroactively award Harold Fannin Jr. the Mackey Award for best TE in college football for 2024. He had better stats than everyone. By a long shot. He led the nation in receiving yards (both WRs and TEs). But everyone said he was MAC mercant. They said Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland would wipe the floor with him vs. equal competition. Well, what do those bitches say now?
Harold Fannin Jr. is the best TE of that class. It's about time people start realizing it. Tell 'em, cuzzo.
