Dick Harmon: What's the foundation of making NFL teams notice? BYU's Ed Lamb explains what draft taught him

Tom Smart,

Fred Warner is on the “Prove It Tour” as he attended a minicamp this weekend with the San Francisco 49ers, who drafted him more than a week ago.

But Warner’s been on this tour all his life.

The state of Utah had just two of its former high school football players drafted: Dalton Schultz, a tight end out of Stanford, and Washington State quarterback Luke Falk. And what does that mean?

It means talent, plus hard work — the kind of work that isn’t seasonal — the kind that really counts.
