College recruiter didn't think 'baby-faced' Stafford would be any good
Colorado State head coach Mike Bobo was the man who recruited Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford to Georgia a decade ago, and his first impression of the Texas native was not a good one.
Before watching his game film, Bobo saw a picture of Stafford and immediately thought he was a "baby-faced kid" who stood no chance with the Bulldogs.
Stafford was actually a five-star recruit who started as a freshman at Georgia. He led the Bulldogs to three consecutive bowl victories, entered the NFL draft a year early and was selected first overall in 2009. With the Lions, he has been to the playoffs twice and the Pro Bowl once.
Bobo is lucky he looked past Stafford's headshot. Otherwise, Georgia would have missed out on one of the top quarterbacks in the country.
