Ted Bartlett evaluates draft-eligible prospects in his spare time, among a number of activities he pursues, including golf, MBA classes, and dating women who are much younger than him. When his kindergarten teacher told him that he was advanced, what she was saying was that, with minimal effort, he'd be able to do better than "really passionate" people who try their hardest. He also focuses on the NFL's business and legal environment, offensive and defensive schemes, going off on unrelated tangents, and all 32 teams in the NFL. He wants you to know that he smirks a lot, and is probably doing so as you read this. Follow him on Twitter at @TedBartlett905, and follow @IAOFM, @T_J_Johnson, and @alloverfatman while you're at it.
