Let's measure the Otah draft buzz throughout his career in decibels (dB):
1) Leaves JUCO as a lanky ex-basketball player; wins starting job at Pitt (10 dB; rustling leaves)
2) Stones Chris Long repeatedly in Virginia-Pitt game (70 dB; Space Shuttle launch in your kitchen)
3) Suffers minor injury in loss to Navy but writhes on the ground like an extra from Saving Private Ryan (30 dB; polite applause after a birdie at Augusta);
4) Runs a glaciertastic 5.63-second 40-yard dash at the Combine (0 dB; the yawning void of interstellar space);
5) Explains that he ran on a high ankle sprain at the Combine (20 dB; an NPR interview with a singer-songwriter heavily influenced by Steve Forbert whose latest album was recorded in Nashville and explores the changes he went through after the birth of his second child);
6) Shaves 0.3 off his 40-time at private workouts, draws rave reviews from Mayock and the other Gurus (60dB; the junior high cafeteria after the fat teacher falls face first into a tray of tater tots).
