Antonio Gandy-Golden admits it: He’s got a chip on his shoulder.
When the Washington Redskins drafted him in the fourth round over the weekend, the 22-year-old Liberty University product was the 19th wideout off the board — despite the fact that he was fourth in the nation last fall in receiving yards.
But when Gandy-Golden saw or heard his name discussed, he noticed a recurring theme.
“The small school thing comes up a lot with me for some reason,” Gandy-Golden said, “even though I have produced.”
In the days following his selection, Gandy-Golden has been described as one of the biggest steals in the NFL draft — in large part because of how he was overlooked at Liberty.
