Don’t know how to embed pics, but last week Lott spoke to fans how Walsh wanted Easley instead of him in the ‘81 draft but George Seifert went to bat for him and wanted him instead in the draft.
Walsh and Dick Vermeil were friends which is what influenced him to prefer Easley. Seifert liked Lott’s footwork and envisioned him playing corner or Safety.
Lott said when he arrived at the airport , they had a flight for Easley not him, haha.
What seifert shared indicated not only did Walsh prefer Easley but was pissed that others wanted Lott. Seifert shared all these details seemingly for the first time, confirming Lott’s suspicions all these years.
Wild stuff. Even Lott thinks Easley is the best safety ever.
I’ve never seen him play and now I want to.
